Quick feet, fluid & that “burst” off the line. Potentially adding another weapon for DCarr & company.

Player comparison by scouts - Zach Ertz

Likely to be the first TE off the board. So maybe top 15?

STEVE AVILA

TCU
G

Solid lateral movement considering his size/weight. Can change his direction quickly to engage/block. Team captain & has good leadership traits.

Negatives - hand placement/inconsistent hands with a tendency to play "tall".

Mid-round (3-5) grades.

Tyjae "Shakespeare" Spears
RB

Tulane

Good burst, a solid change of pace back. In a phone box, he's hard to tackle (see Warrick Dunn). Looks small but plays BIG. See the USC/Cotton bowl.

His official 40 at his Pro Day - 4.47.

IMO his game reminds me of a guy up here, Tony Pollard.

Negatives - pass protection, cut blocking & slight build. At the NFL level, I'd prefer his weight at 210 minimum. He has 2 previous ACL injuries as well.
Mid-round (2nd-4th) grades.

FWIW, all 32 NFL teams were present at Tulane's Pro Day.

Hooker ...

Don't see him getting selected on Day 1.

First-round interest in Hendon Hooker? - YouTube

I think he could be a solid NFL QB. You don’t put up numbers like that in the SEC without talent

I'm about as high on Hooker as you are.

There has been a lot of talk about him up my way as a guy to compete with Cooper Rush & eventually replace Dak.

I could be wrong but I see him getting selected on Day 2 only because of his ACL injury.

Before Carr I would have drafted him with our second round pick quickly. Now…we’ve put chips in on Carr. I’d rather see them get someone to help him succeed.

Now, I hope we go DL/LB with pick 1. Then, one of the top three TEs will be there at 41.
