TIGHT ENDS
Adam Shaheen has been talked about here but still think the big networks are sleeping on him.
Michael Roberts, Toledo - Top 120 tier
Excellent burst out of his stance. Quick feet and change of direction combined with his huge frame (6'4 270lbs) make him a nightmare to cover short and intermediate. Soft HUGE hands. Attacks the ball and immediately looks for YAC. Will break tackles. Can sneak deep but wouldn't call him a deep threat. Inconsistent blocker with effort and technique. Needs to play with more control.

Mason Schreck, Buffalo - Top 120 tier
Enough speed to threaten deep. Consistent pad level, balance, and burst out of his cut allow him to separate and gain position. Outstanding pass catcher who excels tracking the ball and isn't fazed by traffic. ++ RAC. Gets upfield quickly and has some shake to make defenders miss. Not a high riser but times his jump extremely well. Gives effort as a blocker and shows good ability to bend and hold his base. Hands are not overly powerful.
Sorry, just highlights
MOVE TIGHT ENDS
George Kittle, Iowa - Top 60 tier
Can win as an inline TE but why when he can be such a weapon? Will physically dominate small corners, run away from LBs, and frustrate safeties with technique and ability to beat them so many ways. Crisp route runner who can win deep. Understands and can adjust to coverages on the move. Average RAC. Good concentration but hands are not a + yet. Technique junkie as a blocker. Wants to dominate as a blocker.

Jonnu Smith, FIU - Top 120 tier
Great athlete that makes everything look easy as a pass catcher but the effort is there. So smooth and balanced. Never out of control or rushed. Catches the ball clean and easily transitions to a runner. Creates separation but can also adjust to passes with defenders around him. Has the effort as a blocker but technique can be cleaned up.
Billy Brown, Shepherd - Top 120 tier
Played WR at 6'4 255lbs so TE is a total projection. Needs to use his hands more to beat press. Even without them he quickly gains position with his size. Uses full length to attack passes. Extremely comfortable catching passes over his head. Strong hands and body control, works over defenders with + sideline awareness. Red Zone threat in a variety of ways.
