Sam Tevi, OT, Utah needs a fair bit of technique work - he dips his head and leans into blocks too much - but he's got some nice quick and light feet. Also has 34" arms. He and the Villanova guy would be good Dante projects.

Tennessee Football: Vols Tight End Jason Croom Could be the Next Rob Gronkowski

He did run 4.63 and had a 34" VJ but a 4.44 shuttle and 7.41 3-cone aren't great.

Gronk's shuttle was 4.47, FWIW. Nothing about his numbers really screamed super athlete. They were very good, but not amazing.

We've worked out Barnett. I highly doubt that he's available when we pick, even if we somehow secure 32 again.

Derek Barnett draws interest from several teams

 

[manxman2601]

Also a Lacrosse player apparently.

We anticipated this meeting in another thread . accusations that BB doesn't listen to this board should stop!

Would love this pick if he was more aggressive in run support. Sadly he isn't so can only like it.

Big center with a strong anchor. Not very explosive, though. Still, he would provide a different style and some strong competition for Andrews.

Watched a few cut-ups of Roderick Johnson and Rudolph seemed to make a lot of plays for FSU.

I would not be surprised if they went back to the well, after having drafted Bryan Stork and Tre' Jackson, and Johnson was on the Patriots radar this draft.

The Pats tend to draft a position they look at the most. The fact they are looking at so many WRs is interesting.

I know Edelman probably doesn't have many great years left but Mitchell/Hogan/Cooks could easily go 4 years pretty well particularly Mitchell/Cooks.

Also for what is it worth 3-cone times.

Taywan Taylor - 6.57
Isaiah McKenzie - 6.64 (5-7)
Chad Henson - 6.74
Cooper Kupp - 6.75
Ryan Switzer 6.77 (5'8)
Zay Jones 6.79

Those are some of the notable WRs who finished under 6.8 which i think is the cut off for high level 3-cone time for WRs. Worth noting they have not met with any of the guys i listed.

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but don't foreman had a private workout with BB.

Look at the short shuttle too for WRs, I think that might be more important (although the two tend to go hand in hand).

It was mentioned earlier....about 20 seconds earlier

This must be what it feels like to be Rapoport reading Schefter tweets.

Hype intensifies.

This must be what it feels like to be Rapoport reading Schefter tweets.

The person that mentions it in two days time here will be Jason LaCanfora.
