all kidding aside, gute did sign a tight end with nfl experience: josh whyle. i did find this scouting profile (he was drafted the same year as musgrave and kraft:

Scouting Report: Strengths​

  • Varies the speed of his route, using hesitation and shoulder fakes to get the defender guessing.
  • He’s lanky and long-armed, but Whyle has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. Whyle was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #78. He wrote, "He moves extremely well for a big man, clocking a 4.65 40 to go with a 35 1/2-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10-3 1/2. He has also topped 20 mph on the GPS and done 16 reps of 225."
  • A coordinated athlete and tough player to tackle, running with low pad level. Has good body thickness and strength.
  • Thriving on physicality, he’s a contested-catch specialist with a knack for warding off defenders while the ball is in the air. He has strong hands and the ability to wrestle the ball away from defenders.
  • Whyle transitions quickly from receiver to runner, and he has enough speed to threaten the seam.

Scouting Report: Weaknesses​

  • His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Whyle too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
  • And he’ll need to become a sharper route runner, especially on option routes, to create separation at the intermediate level.
  • High cut frame and limited power in hands prevent a top blocking grade.
  • He’ll also have to adjust to getting his head around to locate the ball on shorter routes over the middle.
