TE is a tough spot to scout. Some colleges use them like a WR, but those guys can't block. Others use them as blockers, and you have no idea if they can catch.

Here's a guy I'll call. Will Mallory from Miami. Should be there in the 6th and 7th. I think he could have an above average to good career as a TE.

4.54 40. Has good athleticism. Miami's QB situation has been messed up for a few years, so I think he might be a better pro than college player.

Good nab on him and you are so right. Seldom do you get the great receiver who can also block. Andrews allegedly was not happy with Lincoln Riley because he trashed his blocking that resulted in being a third rounder. Don’t know if that is true because that’s not characteristic of Riley. But nevertheless Andrews hasn’t been a big supporter of Riley.

But I still say if Joe had a first rate tight end then Zac wouldn’t let it waste. Zac started as a TE coach at TAMU. His FIL Mike Sherman who he got his base from as well as from Bill Callihan his coach at Nebraska ( solid west coast offense to the tee). Zac hates mish mash offenses. He believes an offense has to have a fundamentally sound structure. He thinks a lot of college offenses are mish mash even some good ones.Few in the NFL are. But when they have a structure or basis when defenses do something you aren’t prepared for you have something to fall back on. That’s why Jimmy Burrow loves him. It’s sometimes limiting but less confusing and easier to understand. There’s a reason for why they do this or that.
