This is the TE I would love for them to draft. When he's on, he's the most like a Graham or Gronk. He has his down moments for sure, but when he's on, he can be real dangerous. I hope he can be coached up to play at a high level more consistently. If so, he can be a real threat. We probably won't be in a good slot to get him. I could see him going before we would get chance, but who knows? I would love for them to get him.

No combine or workout numbers?

He was playing with a stress fracture in his foot last season. It was noticed at the combine and has been operated on since. He should be fine by now I think.
He put on weight to play at 280lbs for 2013 due to a change in offense but I think he's back down to 262 now. If you draft him you hope you are getting the 2012 version of him.
I wouldn't be surprised if teams are just working him out to test his foot but I wouldn't be surprised if teams have real interest as well.Crosswarriors12 and Sceeto like this. -

Do we only draft players whom are injured? Is that our thing now?

Personally I'd rather go with one of my draft crushes, Troy Niklas, who is like having an extra tackle on the field while also offering Tannehill a great target, but Seferian-Jenkins is close on his heels. If you wanna improve the ground game, then draft Niklas. He takes it to defensive ends, can combo block like a bull in a China shop, the whole shebang. With the ground game being aided, he can stay in and pass protect like an extra right tackle on play-action to provide Tannehill time to hit Wallace deep, which we obviously need.... I mean- if we're paying Wallace gobs of money, we need to ensure we maximize his greatest asset. Plus, if Lazor wants to get guys out in space, hopefully one of these new playmakers Hickey is looking at, then Niklas is the guy you want out in front paving the way. Ditto on sweeps, end around, screens, etc. You wanna establish a moving pocket at times for Tannehill like we've hoped for? Niklas is the guy you want peeling out in front of Tanny since he is like an extra tackle, and if there's no where to go with the ball, Niklas can quickly turn from pass protector to run blocker and let Tanny make something with his feet, which we'd like to see more of. This doesn't even touch his redzone presence or the massive safety net for Tannehill over the middle.
If we're to be spreading it out and utilizing more frequent 3-WR formations, then I'd put Niklas and his balancing hulking inline presence [but who is not limited to just Y] near the top of our list. In fact I'd skip prioritizing Oline in the 1st & 2nd and instead go with Beckham or Cooks in the 1st and then grab Niklas in the 2nd b/c we'd be getting that extra boost in run & pass blocking from Niklas. Then grab a RT after that or trade our 3rd up for JaWuan James. Beckham/Cooks and Niklas would open all sorts of doors for Lazor and this offense, and these are doors that need to be open.
Here, I should just shut up and let you drool away.

I'd be on board with Niklas. Definitely moreso than a WR. I'd much rather have the big huge TE that can dominate over the middle and the redzone than any speedy underneath WR we could get at 19. Wallace-Hartline-Clay-Niklas. that's a good foursome that complements each other.

I've been a big fan of Troy Niklas for a long time.
But I wouldn't blame Miami for targeting C.J. Fiedorowicz over Niklas for schematic reasons. As good a blocker as Niklas is, Fiedorowicz is better and he's trained to block in a scheme just like Miami's. He's got a little more agility than Niklas, better hands, and he's technique savvy when it comes to some of the trickier things you can ask a tight end to do like block and release.
I have Niklas over Fiedorowicz because of upside and because I love that run after catch ability Niklas has...but I'd be just as happy with Fiedorowicz for this coaching staff. -

Worse case scenario, Niklas gets picked by New England at end of the first.

Well I'm willing to draft the guy (Niklas)with my 2nd pick, so who else willing to go there.
There was a goal mentioned by this head coach, that one of the offseason priorities is to rebuild the running game.
He could play a major role in that, yet has the talent to not give away the play just by being on the field.. -

So he just ran a blistering 4.56 does he go in the end of the first round now? -
