April 4, 20179 yr comment_163584 He ran a 4.52 forty at the combine and it shows on the field where he is quick to get open and can threaten defenses deep down field. He is an aggressive inline blocker, not the strongest and often gets himself overextended. That's correctable and at least his heart is in it. I think there should be more talk about drafting him and I think he'd be a good fit in the role Miller plays in our offense. https://www.landof10.com/iowa/iowa-tight-en...inating-blocker Report
April 4, 20179 yr comment_163587 He has been on my list of guys I'd grab in the 4th/5th and I think he'll be good. He also comes from a program that has a pretty good history of developing TE's that go on to be solid pro's. I'd be surprised if Kittle isn't at the very least a very solid TE (who can both pass and catch the ball). I think he's a good fit for what the Bears do from a TE perspective (given the focus on running, they'll want a guy like Kittle who can help with blocking and also be able to leverage on routes...helps better disguise playcalling as well).

Good article to build up support for taking him too. TE's usually go sneaky high, there are always a name or two taken round 3 that wasn't on my radar so I would think he goes round 3 or 4. Report
April 5, 20179 yr Author comment_163592 FWIW Mayock has him listed as the 5th best TE in this class. While most of the pundits see him as 4th/5th Rd Mayock's got him as a 3rd/4th Rd prospect. OTOH Mayock has Everett ahead of him and I prefer Kittle over Everett. I don't like Everett that much regardless. Report

Not sure about Everett that high either but the experts have been saying this is a good TE draft. It may shake down like this.

April 5, 20179 yr comment_163599 How's Everett that high? I'd really like the Miami or ole miss TE in the second. Report

April 6, 20179 yr comment_163628 I don't see Jake Butte's name on your list also Crap....missed him too, he is another 3rd Report
April 6, 20179 yr Author comment_163638 Crap....missed him too, he is another 3rd With the knee injury and likely to miss his entire rookie season? With this much TE talent in the draft I think teams will go elsewhere in Rd 3 knowing they can get help on the field this season and we'll see Butt on the board starting Day 3. Report
April 6, 20179 yr comment_163639 I put Watson down instead of Leggett, smh. I will edit If that's the case, there is no way Leggett is rated below Kittle. Leggett is definitely higher. I think this would be my ranking at the current moment. Howard-rd1 Engram-rd2 Njoku-rd2 Leggett-rd3 Everett-rd3 Kittle-rd3 Hodges-rd4 Report
