That proposed archtype (among others) is overpowered.
Previously building a TE required a risk/reward tradeoff--one could build for the "now" (speed first--and in doing so gimp the long-term build) or the endgame (spend SPs early on the majors attributes of catching and vision since they would be needed at the end-game and struggle early in the build to have any explosive ability). There's now no tradeoff involved with the new archtype--one can invest SPs in speed (and agility) early now and feel no guilt about it--its now a major. Or one can stick with the catching/vision early route and know that the ALGs from speed and agility (along with player height) will provide enough targetting opportunities to still produce at the early stage of ones career. I can't imagine what contortions defenses will have to go thru to cover these un-human TE builds. Heck, one can argue that the "TE receiver" is superior to any archtype offered to WR builds.
Please tell me you're going to reconsider some of the proposed archtypes and make sure that there's an actual risk-and-reward equation attached to each build-type?
