Noah Fant seems like a TE/WR hybrid.... gonna be valuable in hurry-up situations.  Not sure where he's positioned in Mock Drafts but type of player that puts a team like Indy, Texans, 49ers or Jags in contention for Superbowl (assuming Foles goes to Jacksonville).

Crazy that Texas State TE at Combine but not Andrew Beck.....

Gentry should have stayed another year..... guess Harby too much to play 1 more year though

Looks like I'm wrong.... 2nd Rd projection and 3rd tight-end off the board.  One Mock Draft projects him #42 to Bengals....

42. Cincinnati Bengals: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa 
The Bengals need a new tight end, as Tyler Eifert can't be counted on to remain healty.  Noah Fant is an athletic marvel, notching a 41-inch vertical in spring testing. He needs to improve his blocking, but his receiving ability should allow him to be a first- or second-round pick.

Fant, Hockenson, Kittle, Ertz

TE Jace Sternberger runs unofficial 4.76 and 4.78.

Not bad, not fast either. And considering he’s not known as a blocker, I’m curious when he’ll get drafted. 

[LTtxfan 48,928]

Not a very good 2019 RB Draft Class.  I think Kentucky's RB is overrated.... looked slow yesterday.  Projected 2nd Rd, #46 in one Mock Draft, and I just don't see it.  For me he's a 3rd Rd or later RB.

46. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Benny Snell Jr., RB, Kentucky 
This is actually the Redskins' pick, but the Buccaneers acquired it via the trade I proposed in the first round. The Buccaneers didn't have any sort of running game last year. They'll need to change that in order for Jameis Winston to avoid throwing lots of interceptions. Benny Snell Jr. is a tough runner who could sneak into the first round, but will probably be chosen in the 35-50 range.

Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame

[Neonmoon 38,127]

Noah Fant, Caleb Wilson, Irv Smith looks like the best TEs. 

Kaden Smith from Stanford looked bad. Slow and not catching well. Gentry didn’t look great either. 

Sternberger looks average. Not bad, not good. 

[LTtxfan 48,928]

Aggie TE can't figure out which way to turn or how to run straight during the gauntlet drill... SHOCKER

[Neonmoon 38,127]

Ha announcers already mention how Sternberger is good catcher but  big knock on him is he can’t block

What are folks hearing about Ed Oliver??  Interesting some teams want to see him in LB drills.  One Mock Draft has him at #7....

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston

I've been mocking a quarterback to the Jaguars for as far as I can remember. However, in the wake of the hire of John DeFilippo as offensive coordinator, I believe there's a good chance that the Jaguars will pursue Nick Foles to be their next signal-caller. DeFilippo coached Foles when the two won a Super Bowl together during the 2017 season, so the pairing makes a ton of sense. With quarterback being off the table, the Jaguars can take a defensive lineman. Yes, another one. Jacksonville is loaded up front, but it also has one of the worst cap situations in the NFL. There's a good chance the Jaguars will have to cut Malik Jackson and/or Marcell Dareus, plus Calais Campbell turns 33 in September, so Oliver would be a great, cheaper replacement in 2020 and beyond. Oliver was a highly productive defensive lineman for Houston, recording a ridiculous 22.5 TFLs as a freshman. He was a monster this season before getting hurt and currently projects to be a top-10 talent in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Only 17 reps on bench.... he'll need to flash in some of the other tests or he's gonna drop.  Apparently he looked good in the gauntlet.

[TonyTexas 10,478]

^^^
Oliver’s combine measurables.
» 6-foot-1 7/8
» 287 pounds
» 31 3/4 arms
» 9 1/4 hands
» 77 3/8 wingspan

That’s great size. He’ll get even more buzz after he kills the drills

[Machinator 32,097]

Irv Smith might be the best overall TE in the draft.

 

[Machinator 32,097]

Haskins runs a 5.04 on his first 40 attempt.

Ah yes, the silly season is in full swing, where all the fans and scouts and coaches forget what happened Sept-Dec and fall in love with SPARC workout warriors in shorts and tank tops.

Damn. Hoping to see LJ in the mid 4.6.

I don't think "slower than Drew Lock" was exactly what he was going for

SPARC translates more to the NFL than what you did in college, unfortunately.

Hakeem Butler with 4.49?  That is pretty quick for a dude his size.  I wonder if he ran himself into the first round.
