Thursdays combine measurements

[LinvilleGorge]

Other noteworthy TEs:

Jake Butt, Michigan: 6'5.6" 246 10" hands

Bucky Hodges, VT: 6'6" 257 10 1/8" hands

Jordan Leggett, Clemson: 6'5.4" 258 10 3/8" hands

TEs as a whole are measuring out VERY well this year.

Watson isn't no 6'2

I guess he is looking at his pics, he always seemed short to me

So your saying the tape measure is lying.  Interesting point.

I'm not so sure he makes it to the later rounds. People are really starting to talk about him. If he shows up and runs fast and performs the on field drills as well as it may look like he will, he could go a lot earlier than some think.

Daniel Jeremiah has been pumping this guys name up on Twitter lately

Bucky went back to improve his stock and from the looks of it he made a mistake.

Just adding a few that might be interesting to some around here.

People who say he's not a top 10 pick are crazy, unlike Ebron, Winslow, Davis...Etc...Basically all the examples people use to discourage picking him forget one thing, he can actually block quite well along with great hands, speed, size and route running.

 

And before anyone says "look at the stats bruh!" Realize Alabama poorly utilizes TE's in the pass and religated Howard to downfield and run blocking.

 

If our board is picked clean by #8, I'd be fine with Howard.

Agreed. OJ Howard would be a great tight end to go opposite of Greg Olsen. If we are truly going to two tight end sets like RR mentioned. Being honest I would only look at S, RB, or TE at pick 8 in this draft.

Corey Davis is starting to look like a good pick at 8.  If he runs a great 40 time, he should be a top ten pick.

Is he running? I didn't think he was going to be able to compete in drills due to his ankle injury.

Ah, I didn't know he was injured.

Close up picture of Njoku's hands:

Some rapper no ones ever heard of even wrote a song dedicated to his hands:

I might feel differently if we didn't already have a bunch of pass droppers on the roster already. Seems like Gettleman said thos issues were "concentration" related too. 

We need some surer handed receivers, excuses for the drops be damned.

Christian McCaffrey with 10 reps on the bench.....

Nikki should be placed in the WR group. He may have blocked three guys the whole year and they where DBs ;-)
