Only notable "name" I can recall from 2018 at the position is Irv Smith Jr from Bama. He's a stud but I believe a team will take him in the 1st.

Pipe dreams for me at pick #62 are guys like Riley Ridley or Hakeem Butler.

I like Ridley to fall to us, although it's more likely Butler or Neal will at #62 or draft best Oline available, but I think we'll trade up to #24 with Oakland and land TJ Hockenson or Noah Fant TE's from Iowa and get a 4th out of the deal and draft Oline. In the 5th Jace is a good one for round 5 as well as CJ Conrad from Kentucky at TE if we wait.

Hockenson (6-4, 251) was a surprise early-entry into the 2019 NFL Draft, but it wasn't a bad decision as he could be one of the first tight ends selected. While splitting targets with Noah Fant in 2018, Hockenson totaled 49 receptions for 760 yards with six touchdowns. He has good size and showed some impressive receiving skills in 2018. To go along with being a receiving mismatch weapon, Hockenson is a quality blocker who should quickly develop into a three-down starter in the NFL.
