I think they are gonna give Dak weapons before they fix the DL so they probably look hard at him.

He’s the prototype of what we look for in a TE. He won’t make it to 58 though so we’ll have to move up for him.

Quite the TE draft class forming.

 

[Bigdog]

I hope he makes it to us but he probably will not.

Who said that? Haskins declared and he is also a RSoph. Johnny Manziel and Michael Vick left after their redshirt sophomore seasons. I'm sure there are many more examples.

If he somehow slides to pick 32, I'd love to see Jerry jump up and snag him with the last pick of the 1st round.

Would create a little drama on ABC's national draft coverage.

He’s legit. This TE class is loaded.

I don’t know how to search and find it but I someone said that 1-2 months ago.

Don’t expect him to be my pick in the Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational; I’m making this a special teams draft, looking for try-hard guys that have no chance at becoming starters.

I remember it as well.

They claimed redshirt sophomores almost never declare, which was/is incredibly wrong.

Do you have the proper methods to measure "winatude"

However Broaddus is saying TJ might be a first rounder.

He very well could be.

I remember someone saying rarely and/or unlikely in regards to Hockenson. But a flat no?

 

[MaaS]

Hockenson is the perfect TE for Dallas. Monster of a blocker, athletic receiver who uses his body to shield defenders as well as anyone.

But, his teammate Noah Fant, Bama's Irv Smith, and Stanford's Kaden Smith would have all been the highest ranked TE in last year's class (IMO). I do think we'll need to move up, but there's a great chance an excellent player is available in the early 2nd. Not sure how these four shake out.

 

[The Realist]

I’m using at least a 4 to move up for a TE. I’d go all in for the right guy.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Translate: We can sit back and relax, knowing a good solid prospect (TE) will certainly be there at 58

A 4th shifts us 4-5 spots so it's not a huge upgrade unless we think someone is going to take a TE that's in front of us. Dane Brugler seems to think he's a mid/late first rounder so we might struggle to get there unless we use a future 1st or 2nd.

Ok, who wants to give up next year’s one to go get a TE in one this year?

Looks like my TJ Hockenson dream might be over.
