Chatter for Top TEs in Draft

[Untouchable]

A position the Panthers are likely to target on draft day, Pauline summarized his conversations with multiple scouts about the top TEs in the draft in the link below.

Quick Summary:

-First wave is Mike Gesicki, Dallas Goedert, Hayden Hurst.  Anyone's guess what order.  Gesicki's negatives are with blocking and route running.  Panthers met with Goedert and he is viewed by some scouts as more complete than Gesicki with upside.  Hurst is viewed as the "safe" pick by some scouts.

-Second Wave: Ian Thomas, Dalton Shultz, Mark Andrews.  Thomas likely first to go in this group and likely needs time but could be best of draft class.  Shultz can help immediately on all three downs.  Andrews is underrated and a viewed as a poor blocker.

EDIT: For reference of where the prospects are expected to fall in the draft, I posted on the draft board a while back about the article he did saying where the prospect were setting up going into the combine according to scouts in the following link.

3. Hayden Hurst, SC, Possible Top-45

4. Mike Gesicki, PSU

5. Mark Andrews, Oklahoma & Dalton Shultz, Stanford, Possible late 3^rd

Schultz in the 3rd could be nice. I now think that we go TE in the 5th, maybe Fumagalli from WI, or Hurndon (who looks like a good fit as a TE2) from Miami.

Would love Herndon. I think he’s very underrated.

I Love the idea of Schultz in the 5th

Dude can block- was a Huge key in the run game for CMC and Love at Stanford

While he hasnt shown much in the passing game, reports are the Stanford staff say he has all the tools and talent to be a playmaker in the passing game- Panthers current WR coach was the stanford RB coach.  So he was one of those guys who saw what he couod do block8ng for his RBs and what he could do as a recieving threat in practice

I'm not sure he replaces Greg next year (or 2), but he's  better than Dickson on day 1. Allows us to run 2 TE sets, another offensive weapon, THIS SEASON.
