    Phazan Odom TE Fordham 6'8 250 and can get down the field, also a redzone threat. Maybe a 5-6 round type of guy.

    Just take oj howard at 30 if he is there and that position is locked up for 10 years

    His 2016 stats 14 receptions for 2 TDs most likely will put him in the undrafted available ranks.....

    I'd take Everett in the 3rd if he's still there but his athleticism will probably raise his stock to rd 2.

    I still like Jake Butt, too, despite the injury. Pick him up in the later rds if he lasts that long.

    Holy cow 6'8 wow, just his height alone is worth it and hope he becomes a red zone target.

    Maybe he was injured in 2016, his highlights are from 2015 :shrug:.

    Adam Shaheen 6'7 277lbs, runs 4.70 (Gronk ran a 4.69) and has 39 inch vertical leap. Ex basketball player, great hands. Strong and outruns dbs while getting huge chunks of YAC!

    I call him THE KRAKEN!!

    Ladarius Green still has not been cleared out of the concussion protocol per Rotoworld. Is that because its offseason or ???

    I wouldn't rule out a TE being drafted very high this draft. But I don't think they will add another guy in the Jesse James mold. The Outlaw is still only like 21 years old or something. You know he will keep developing. They want that move or Joker TE imo.

    They signed Green for a reason, James doesn't bring what he does.

    Now, did they bring Green in because they knew Bryant was down for the year or because they just like what that type of TE brings. If its the later, you'll see them draft one in that mold.

    They do like James alot though.

    I like Jesse, but not as much as I like a healthy Green, but damn.. dude is super fragile. Shouldve told us about those concussions pre- contract.

    Damn our medical staff really dropped the ball here.

    Who knows, could be legit. He really sat out 5 games after a light concussion. Smh. Like.. Ive seen Bud rock Matt Moore.. and finished playing after missing one play. Dude barely got hit.. and was out for the rest of the season.

    How do you miss 5 games after barely getting hit?

    I was cool with the ankle needing healing, but the brain is fragile. He totally lied to get that contract.

    Do not believe they do myself. Otherwise Kevin Colbert would have stated something about it.



    Either way... should O.J. Howard be there at 30... do not blink or be surprises if Pittsburgh pulls the trigger if all other options are gone.

    Shaheen is starting to intrigue me. I think it was NY in the Combine thread that said Pat KIran was talking him up.

    Not alot of game tape other than a few short clips on YouTube. 6'6 278. Ran 4.79. Good athlete for his size.

    From the footage i saw, this guy knows how to catch the football. Ex basketball guy who knows how to position himself to come down with the ball. Made alot of tough catches from what I saw.

    Knock on him seems to be as a blocker which is strange given his size. Still, if this guy can be a threat up the seam and in the RZ, something to look at.

    Anyone else got anything on this guy? Would be awesome to get him in the 2nd. Is this guy a sleeper even in the 2nd round? Very high upside.

    Yes PK was talking him up and everything is true that you said. The thing I read on him was he was a bad run blocker but a decent pass blocker....kind of weird huh?

    Yeah given his size it is.

    I think at worst, he could be a Fiedorowiscz type of TE minus the blocking. At his best, and I know I am overhyping it a bit given limited film, but I wanna see the pass receiving skills of Gronk.

    This guy gets open and makes tough catches.

    Yes he does and the little chances that he got he took full advantage of. I will say in the first 5 rounds there is going to be a good TE that would fit nicely with us available. jmo
