He put up 44-598-8 this past season at Virginia after transferring.
He's faster than Pat Freiermuth straight-line and slightly lower agility.
Freiermuth was considered a complete TE and went 55th overall.

Actually, Freiermuth's rookie year is probably about what Woods would put up in his first or second year as a starter.
60-497-7

So if a team really did spend a 2nd on Woods, it wouldn't be out of this world.

Most experts don't even have Woods as a Top 5 TE in what is a pretty weak class. His average prospect rating is 117 overall per NFLMDD's Consensus Big Board, which is only 8th best among TE's.  It would be a shock to see him go in the 2nd.  I personally think he's getting pumped up too high based on his traits and the Bengals need for a TE.  I would be fine taking him, but not before day 3 and certainly not in the 2nd.  

Keep in mind that while his numbers last year were good, he was 5th on the Cavaliers in receiving yards.  Are we really going to spend a 2nd round pick on the #5 receiving option for a 6-6 ACC school?
