As much as I’d be happy with any of the 3 TE’s, every one that gets picked ahead of us pushes a defensive player down the board. I’m good either way. [Reply]

I was watching the Big 10 network yesterday and they think Fant and Hockenson will flip by draft time with Hockenson going higher than Fant. [Reply]

I think there's a chance that Hock works his way into the top 12. It's not a great one, but he'll be the first TE off the board, IMO.
What may help is the same thing that has people saying that we shouldn't take one in the first - it's a really good TE class.
I just think Hockenson is a friggen phenomenal fit for us for reasons that I've already gone into fairly wordy detail over. Trust the new defensive coaching staff to get something worth listening to out of a Tuba here and lean hard on the most talented player available.
I'm starting to accept that he won't be available for us in the late 1st; I was never incredibly confident that he would be but it's looking less and less likely. [Reply]

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. I made a post about it in the other thread. [Reply]

I'm not sure about that. If you watch game tape you are going to want Hockenson. If you go by the numbers they produce at the combine its going to be Fast that rises up the draft board. If either guy falls to the second I'd be all over that shit. [Reply]
The problem I have with Sweat is he seemed to not show up in the really big games. He seemed to be invisible the couple of times I really got to watch him play.
That being said, I don't think there's any way he drops to 29 anyway. His position is too valuable and he did have top notch production for 2 years in the SEC. [Reply]

Another guy i like is Brian Burns any chance he'd be there? What are your thoughts on him? [Reply]
