Re: Kipers Draft Grades for the NFC South

I've studied, I'm just not sold on taking him in the 3rd round when there were some other guys that I think would have been better fits.

He's an ex-basketball player which has thoughts of Tony G and Antonio Gates dancing in everybody's heads, but I'm going to hold off on that until I see him in the NFL. I publish the Wake Forest Rivals site, so I'm pretty familiar with ACC football, so I saw this kid play last year. He's played football for one year in college (he quit in high school to concentrate on bball), so he's extremely raw. He's got great size, but that can work against him too because he plays high at times. He also doesn't run good routes right now, but that can be coached. But the thing that really worries me is that he catches the ball with his body. All of this can be fixed when he gets some coaching, but he's definitely a project.

He's very athletic and could turn out to be a good pick, but I just didn't get it. We had two very good TEs last season, and Miller is coming back. And we had some other needs, just curious that we went TE that early.
