We loved Kittle in the draft forum.
I doubt SF let's him go for anything less than a top 50 pick. If that's the case I'm calling TB about OJ.
Noah Fant is a great all around TE from Iowa. Moves like a WR, real deep threat. Good not great blocker. Plays smart taking angles away. He'll test well & be a 1st rounder. Skills might be wasted on the los anyway. He's gifted in the open field.
His teammate Hockenson really blew up this year. He's a savage blocker. He'll be stalk blocking WRs for years. Another guy that can really get move. 6'5 240 w plenty of room for some added weight. Showed some nice body control in the RZ. Strong, natural hands. Looks like a Kittle-clone.
Josh Oliver is 65/250 & might run a 4.5. Showed some promise as a blocker & adjustment to 50/50 balls.
Strenberger is another guy that shows real promise as a blocker but will get too loose around his base, over extended at times, plays a too high but the tools are there for a well rounded player. He has legit long speed & a big catch radius.
Irv Smith could be a vg move TE. Has work to do as a blocker as well but he has legit acceleration & speed. Smart player that will eat zones alive.
Dawson Knox has great size (64/245), former QB & + athleticism. Strong that pluck the ball out of the air & always secures it. Separates in/out of breaks & can line up almost anywhere.
Nauta is another guy to keep an eye on. I can't imagine anyone taking him before Rd 3 rn & could be a good one. Was always underutilized at UG. Like everyone else has work to do but he's very athletic & could be monster.
Eventually I'll have a thread to really break them down in the draft forum.
