to draft an TE/H-Back??

pick 15??

here is a guy y'all need to keep an eye on. Lots of sites have him listed as 6'5" but he is closer to 6'3"..at 260 pounds... his watch sheet says he runs a 4.7 but his coaches say he is closer to 4.3.... if you watch this clip you will see a few times where he is outrunning DB's...so I bet he is faster than the 4.7 but I dont see 4.3 speed, lol.

but the kid is tough, uses his hands, and catches everything.

we need a kid like this for Rosen... his gronk...

down side is...nobody would spend a top 5 pick on a TE...and if he comes out for this next draft he would basically be the only first round TE talent.....maybe being shorter helps him slide a bit?? I dunno.. but all day today I watched teams throwing to TE's I never even heard of...our rookie QB needs one...and since he can play H-Back...he could take the FB spot on the roster...

check him out...

Ron Kramer is the highest tight end ever taken in the draft, 4th overall. Vernon Davis was drafted with the 6th pick in 2006.

Pick 15 sounds about right.

Great player. But can't justify drafting a TE in round 1 with so many glaring holes in more crucial positions.

I agree...especially with the draft as it looks for 19...too much defensive talent at the top...
that being the case, the kid could slide to round two

would be a steal if he slid and we could get him around pick 33

Agreed. The cardinals need to surround Rosen with weapons and drafting this kid would be a nice addition.

If you knew what Gronk would become you’d spend a top 10 pick on him

It depends on your OC. I wouldn't with McCoy.

McCoy would have him blocking 70% of his snaps. If he can't abuse a mismatch like David Johnson, no effing way he uses a TE like that correctly.
