I know that qb and de position are the two critical positions but what are the chances we will takea tight end in this draft ? there is a kid named Egnew from Missouri that iam wondering if he has the size but i am not sure where he will land in the draft . the kid from Lousiana tech is ok but i think Egnew kid might be a good prospect in rd 4 or 5 but idont know enough about him . does anyone know anything about him ?
TE, Ladarius Green. He is rather skinny, not a great blocker but good size and speed. Nice receiving TE for certain packages. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=82809&draftyear=2012&genpos=TE
I believe he was the top performer in the 40 yd dash if I remember correctly. Has trouble gaining separation off the line of scrimmage
As for Michael Egnew, some scouts rank him as the 3rd TE in the draft, ahead of Charles. Then again others have him below Charles and Green. He's probably the most prolific pass catching TE in the bunch.
What do we need to draft a tight end didn't Miami just sign sme accountant who has never played in college to play TE?
The kid is big, and has very good measuarables, runs a 4.6 with a 36 inch vert, I have him as a solid third round prospect because of his technique as a blocker, moves his feet well down the line, balanced when he engages the defender, can turn that defender inline with good technique, is willing to scrap to the whistle, and is a very good blocker on the move, I've seen him bust Coples in the mouth with perfect technique after coming across in motion to spring a big run, bottom line, we know the kid can catch and run, we know he's got good size and measuarables, he could afford to be a bit more aggressive, shuffles his feet just a bit before engagement but overall, he's a pretty good blocker to go along with a nice skillset for a tight end.
We aren't drafting a TE high because we have Fasano and an intriguing option at #2 in Clay who should do well in this offense. Les the accountant joins a couple other prospects for the #3 spot already on the roster. If they draft a TE it will be low...like 6th or 7th and probably only cause someone dropped value wise.
