I wouldn't be shocked if we take a Nico Collins/Fehoko/Imatorbhebhe type. It would be a real mismatch for defenses that are trying to combat the speed of Hill and Hardman to have to deal with another big, physical receiver to pair with Kelce.
But we don't really know what wrinkles Reid is thinking about adding this season; just plan on there being some new wrinkles. Of that, I'm sure.

For sure, they've fiddled around with guys that fit the archetype. They've never really committed resources to it and taking one of the guys you listed is really just the status quo of taking a long shot guy and seeing if he hits.
As opposed to taking a guy in the 2nd round, which is spending a premium resource. They've never really done that for a TE or a big WR.
