Tight Ends

1. Hayden Hurst, South Carolina
2. Dallas Goedert, South Dakota State
3. Mike Gesicki, Penn State
4. Mark Andrews, Oklahoma
5. Will Dissly, Washington

Who the heck is Will Dissly?!? This was literally the first time I’ve seen his name mentioned.

I'm just wondering how many times that guy gets jabbed about his name? whistling Dixie?

I’m so intrigued lately by this guy:

OLB/DE Lorenzo Carter, Georgia; Height: 6-6; Weight: 242 lbs

I would have him playing SLB in base and DE in sub-packages. His length and sideline-to-sideline range is incredible. Could he possibly last until the 3rd round or will he have a meteoric rise like former Bulldog Leonard Floyd?

Interesting fact: Carter was high school teammates with Alvin Kamara.

Nice - Payton likes going right into his clubhouse and getting first-hand scouting reports; but I find that works two ways...

Sometimes we get guys in the clubhouse, good guys, but they're not really good players, just podnahs that needed an NFL gig...

He's a lot like Kikaha, and is limited as a 3-4 OLB...

^^^ It appears Leighton (honestly, I'd never heard of him until last month) is rising up the draft boards as of late.

Questions I have are ...

How is his hip movement/change of direction?
Instincts ?
Ability to shed off defenders ?
Sideline to sideline closing speed as a tackler (see Deion Jones/Kuechly)?
Coverage ability in space ?
