The more I watch the offensive tackles, the less I like the top of the class. However, the developmental tackle group offers a lot of long-term potential and Day Three appeal. Wagner’s Greg Senat, James Madison’s Aaron Stinnie and Brandon Parker from North Carolina A&T could all be above-average starters by 2020, but they’re not ready yet.
One player I’m going to rate lower than just about every other draftnik: South Dakota State TE Dallas Goedert. I think he’ll be an adequate NFL starting tight end, but I see him in the top 50 a lot. I don’t see it. He got away with being bigger and stronger than the competition at the FCS level. His route-running is pedestrian, and his burst isn’t great. I love the ability to make the difficult catches and one-handed highlight reel snags, but he went to that well too often for my liking. He’s my TE5 in a middle-heavy class and I’m not comfortable drafting him before the fourth round. The Gronk comparisons I’ve seen are absurd to me.
