[QUOTE="edensmage, post: 1032425, member: 18343"] One position that many aren't talking much about, understandably so, is TE. However, I do think we end up grabbing another one as I've seen a few people propose. So instead of the standard Sinnott pick I started reviewing the TE class - which is small so it makes it easy to do - and I found what I think might be a gem. Jared Wiley is currently consensus 133, end of the 4th. He's commonly mocked to teams in the 5th. When I watched some tape on him vs. Sinnott and Theo Johnson I saw someone who could easily be every bit as good. For reference, I went back and watched some college tape on Musgrave and Kraft - although Kraft's level of comp makes it a little harder to eval. A few notes I came up with (keep in mind this is with very limited sample size): Theo: I see someone who you are purely projecting. he definitely has the profile, but his tape is only so-so. I didn't see much or great blocking, and he doesn't seem to catch the ball naturally. I also don't know that his athleticism jumps out at me like musgrave's does. Ben: For all the talk about this guy being a HB type TE, after watching his tape vs. Texas I was not terribly impressed. Now I understand college TE's aren't asked to block a ton but of all of the TE's in this class he does have a higher level of experience with it, and it doesn't look great. It was either Theo or Ben I saw get stood up by a CB or much smaller safety. Ben frequently missed/wiffs on his blocks. Which brings me to Wiley: So, definitely used primarily as a receiving TE, but he looks natural doing it. His speed and athleticism show up. Hands catcher, not trying to catch with his body like Theo does. Very fluid in his routes. If someone can get a read on his blocking capability, this might be the best option of the 3. I'm going to Jared. [/QUOTE]
