Play Smith. If you want Engrams unique talents out there (whatever you think they may be), then play him as the big WR. It seems some think he is a TE just because he's big, but his lack of physicality means he is a WR or H-type guy. The experiment is over.
Who would want him? If I'm a general manager for another contending team on enough opioids to consider a trade for this boob, the most I would give up is a 4th round pick. Maybe.
Engram has ever been, was the back-end of 2018 when he was a package player - going for 40-50% of snaps. He can't block, and I worry that he's like a baseball player struggling with the bat bringing that negativity into his receiving. Let the real tight ends play the early downs. Its not ideal, but he can still provide value in a limited role.
Great post. He's not going to "come around" as a stud, primary receiver etc. Definitely not a first rounder/target we'd hope he would be.
he is now in his 4th season and has not improved as a blocker at all and still drops too many passes. The current regime has no ties to him so I wouldn't be surprised to see him benched by week 4. he's all finesse and not a real football player
If he can't block or catch the ball then he should be benched
regarding an individual player this season will be turning Engram into someone who is good at football.
Remember when Tom Coughlin said he was going to turn around Ron Dayne? Even the best can’t polish a turd and unfortunately EE is trending the wrong way.
Not Engrams greatest asset there.

Then gets hurt during the first play of the week 3 game vs the 49ers.
