I understand that Fant's blocking is improving. However, I think it misguided to compare his blocking skills to that Hock. While he obviously is not as good, Hock would step right in for Gronk when he leaves, filling the same role. I wouldn't have the same expectation for Fant.
So, sure I overstated some. But, I would trade a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Hock. I wouldn't trade up very far, if at all, for Fant. I might even draft a DL at 32, even with Fant available. How about you?
If Hockenson was Gronk I’d give that up for him, but I don’t believe he’s going to be the greatest TR in history. I think he will be good, and I would go #32 and a 3rd to move up a few spots to get him, but I wouldn’t give up 3 picks for him. I would sit still for Fant, and I wouldn’t go DL unless a prospect dropped out of the top 15 to them. And I wouldn’t touch Simmons.
