Tuggle'2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Guy is huuuuuge. Looks pretty athletic too. Think he would be around during late 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 6'8"You forgot the 260lbs. I know a lot didn't think we needed to train a TE under TG. I just think a little school from the best can't hurt anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Exploder Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He's not bad, but there are better tight ends in this draft. He should be a mid-round prospect, but his size might jump him up a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Exploder Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Other than Eifert, who else?I like Zach Ertz a lot and I think he will have a bigger year than Fauria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trufant Island Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 would not draft this kid until the 4th at least. 6'8''? at a "skill" position where tacklers will be diving at his legs? im not investing a 1st-3rd round pick in those knees. also, looks huge, but very raw. many more polished TE prospects than this kid. and to be honest, i really dont want anymore Jim Mora Jr. coached players on the Falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very legit prospect and one of the best receiving tight ends in next year's class. I have my reservations on him, but he's still a good prospect. I'd like to see more from him though.

I still think had Mora Jr had control of the team he would of done better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Radical Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) 6'8''? at a "skill" position where tacklers will be diving at his legs?Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski are both 6"7'. Edited July 10, 2012 by Free Radical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcky_mtn_falcon Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski are both 6"7'.Frankly it doesn't matter, the diving at his knees was a dumb arguement to begin with. Is there really much difference between where a 6'8" guys knees are and where a 6'3" guys knees are in relation to the ground ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trufant Island Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Frankly it doesn't matter, the diving at his knees was a dumb arguement to begin with. Is there really much difference between where a 6'8" guys knees are and where a 6'3" guys knees are in relation to the ground ?actually, it really isnt a dumb thing to be concerned with. the guy is 6'8'' and looks like a twig. itd be different if he was built like graham or gronk. and yeah, there is definantly a difference beween where a 6'8" guys knees are and where a 6'3" guys knees are in relation to the ground. explain to me how there there would not be?and i would take Eifert, Lutzenkirchen, Pederson from Wisconsin, Stoneburner from Ohio, and Ertz before this kid. Plus, Seferian-Jenkins at Washington and Colt Lyerla from Oregon both have more talent as sophs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My top 5 TE's as it stands:1 - Tyler Eifert | SeniorHeight: 6’6 | Weight: 249Projected Round: 1st | School: Notre Dame2 - Zach Ertz* | Junior (RS) Height: 6’6 | Weight: 249Projected Round: 2nd | School: Stanford3 - Levine Toilolo* | Junior (RS) Height: 6’8 | Weight: 263Projected Round: 2nd-3rd | School: Stanford4 - Jake Stoneburner | Senior (RS) Height: 6’5 | Weight: 245Projected Round: 3rd-4th | School: Ohio State5 - Joseph Fauria | Senior (RS) Height: 6’8 | Weight: 252Projected Round: 3rd-4th | School: UCLAC.J.Fiedorowicz is the wild card at the moment, who could go anywhere from 1st to 3rd if he declares.

vel Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If he wasn't 6'8 would you still want to draft him? That's my thing. I wouldn't even look his way if he was only 6'5 6'6. He is very raw and sloppy at times. I'd rather go Eifert, Ertz or hope Friedo declares if I want something immediate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSICKxWITHxITx Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Looks good I'd take a look if he was like a Gronk, Jimmy, Lewis or TE for Lions I went blank. If he plays like Leonard Pope in the NFL I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to see more tape on this guy before I can give him a fair assessment, but I'm wondering if he's getting by based on his mismatches.

Numbaz Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If our 4th WR steps up this year, drafting a tightend shouldnt be a priority. We need dsomebody to replace Turner, a DE, a safety, n LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need dsomebody to replace Turner, a DE, a safety, n LT.Tony G needs a replacement unless one our young guys steps up. Holmes could be our LT, but if not I agree. Turner might could play 2-3 more season while slowing down. Quizz I think will step up, but I wouldnt mind adding someone. If none of our young DEs step up then yeah we need to add one. Safety only for depth which isn't looking bad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could of been had for a mid round pick. I still like him, but my favorite going into 2012 is Toilolo. I'm looking for him to have a breakout season. He was buried in the depth chart at stanford, but I think he's overall a better athlete than Ertz, and could probably be had in the 2nd or 3rd, if he declares.
