Is anyone else not that impressed by CJ Fiedorowicz?
Nope. Just another piece of the puzzle for TEs and receivers. It's a measurement that teams have always done, but the public wasn't told about. Now, we know just about everything except unreported medical issues.. And even those make it out..

I was watching his tape and he rarely makes guys miss, does not break any tackles, and seems to get most of his catches for less than 10 yard gains. Even with the ball in his hand, the guy does not seem to use his size after the catch like Gronk does and his movement ability looks pretty weak. Yeah he is probably the best blocker in the class, but is he really that big of an upgrade from Hooman?
I would take CJ no earlier than the 5th round. ASJ is the closest thing to Gronkowski in this draft. In order of preference, I would take: ASJ, Ebron, Amaro, Niklas, Fiedorowicz.
Nine inch hands for Amaro :nono:
I think everyone's being harsh on Fiedorowicz. He's the best blocker at the position and has truly excellent hands. Yes, he doesn't have that explosion that's needed for a starter and he's probably a day three pick, but he is excellent at the things he does well. He will get you a first down on 3rd down and he'll be a terrific red zone player.

Half of me wants to see Niklas and Gronk go HAM on the same team. The other half of me is scared to death by that idea
Niklas is my favorite TE in this draft but the concussion thing scares the hell out of me. I can only imagine him and Gronk heatbutting each other on the sideline getting hyped up. Pairing Yo Soy Fiesta and Love the Pain at TE could be unstoppable
Note to self, don't steal Prince Shembo's bike seat.
C.J. Fiedorowicz: The Iowa tight end was known as one of the best blockers in the class. He helped himself with an above average 4.76-second 40-yard dash (because he was expected to run slower). He led his position with a 7.10 three-cone and 4.26 short shuttle.
Jenkins has a broken foot and Niklas didn't run and I can't find out why.
Seferian Jenkins has a foot injury that could keep him out of his April 2 pro day and Niklas’ groin is bothering him.
I have said the same thing in another posting. He's a Tavon Wilson who can actually play on offense, not just ST. He would be a _great_ seventh round pick.I wonder why they didn't invite Ted bolser. He would be good for the pats.

He has got the physical skills, that's for sure. Ted Bolser NFL Draft Indiana - TE

He's willing to play ST, which he did effectively in college, he's not flashy but gets the job done, and seems to have a knack for Christian Fauria-like Red Zone receptions where he shields the defender off with his 6' 5" body. Can he block effectively enough? The mystery here is why this red shirt senior wasn't invited to the Combine, which may make his more alluring to the Patriots. He'll have something to prove.
