    1. Fred Davis, Southern California
    Height: 6-3 Weight: 255
    College stats: 26 starts, 117 receptions, 13 TDs
    Vital numbers: 4.65 40-yard dash

    Davis was the premiere tight end during the season, and looked like a complete player at the Senior Bowl. A former wide receiver who lived in the weight room until he was able to get 33 reps on the bench press test. His 40-yard times disappointed clubs, who expected a high 4.5 from him. Some teams believe he really is a 4.7-type athlete and that scares teams when it comes to presenting a vertical threat down the field, which has become a primary condition for a great draft grade. His game tapes indicate he can present a deep threat. Davis is a very solid route runner with fine body control near the sideline or reaching back for a bad pass over the middle. Davis should perform in pro football like L.J. Smith or Chris Cooley. Draft projection: Round 2.


    2. Dustin Keller, Purdue
    Height: 6-2 Weight: 242
    College stats: 26 starts, 142 receptions, 16 TDs
    Vital numbers: 4.55 40-yard dash

    Keller has been rising up draft boards for the past month. He has production and really helped himself in his testing. A 41-inch vertical leap and 3.94-second short shuttle separated him from the other tight ends. When I spoke to him about his weight room numbers, he was even more impressive with a 635-pound squat and a 400-pound power clean. Keller has a burst and gets in and out of breaks well to separate from defenders. He will be thought of as a move tight end. Draft projection: Round 2.

    nice read on one of the positions on our team that I feel we should be addressing in this draft. David Martin and Justin Peele just aren't going to cut it as far as im concerned.

    I'd prefer it to be a pick we make with our second 2nd rounder though, not #32.
