and if we're sayign it -- and we don't even USE a tight end...you can bet ther's 25 other teams thinking the same thing. er, fanbases...

I'm guilty, sorry but my buddy is a Razorback fan and i've seen this guy play and he's got it. I'm gonna be different and draft him for a WR. I'd draft Miller in the 1st for a true TE and then Jones for a WR that can line up in a two tight set.

can he catch? He can run... he can throw... he's got good size... but can he catch.

Thats the 5 million dollor question. I've seen what everyone else has seen, running, passing and is a monster but haven't seen him catch. Did he work out at the combine? I'm gonna go look and see if i can find out anything. If anyone saw him on NFL network working out let us know how he looked.

he was letting some balls get to his body at the SB. think it's more lack of practice as it seemed to me he had good hands. i was impressed as hell on his TD even though there was accusation of offensive interference. i think he gets away with it at least 9 outa 10 times. the CB had no chance on that play. he's quick and uses his body well to shield. i think he will be an awesome TE and with his speed, teams will always be scared to death of him getting behind them.

There ahs been quite a buzz about him, but how much did the combine really get him?

He's still not a very good QB, which is the position he knows. As a TE he creates some interesting mismatches, but his 4.3/4.4 speed has WR written all over it.

I still wouldn't think about him until day 2.
