Cuevas projects as a solid all-around TE2 with low-end starting upside. He has a strong frame with a thick lower half. He's not an explosive mover in his routes or after the catch, but he has the functional strength to break tackles with the ball in his hands. Cuevas is a solid inline blocker. He doesn't have the lateral agility to deal with speed rushers on the edge consistently, but if you're just asking him to chip, combo block defenders, and sustain his patch of grass, he'll get the job done. He has tight hips, which will prevent him from excelling in short area routes with suddenness, but he uncovers fairly well considering. Cuevas is mainly a dump-and-run tight end that can create enough separation against zone coverage to operate as a dependable option.
