136. Brycen HopkinsFrom my big Board:
68. Brycen Hopkins - TE - Purdue - 6'-4" 245 lbs. - Your prototypical new age TE. A mismatch problem in the middle of the field that is a smooth, easy mover. Not an inline blocker, I worry a bit about his hands.
My #1 TE, 1 of 3 Tier 1 TEs, my 3rd best player available on my Rams Stacked Board at time of pick
Pros:
Vertical seam threat
Decent speed (4.66)
Soft hands will pluck the ball
good athlete for the position
OK after the catch
competes for the ball
Cons:
does have some drops (concentration?)
Not a great inline blocker
Not a ton of power
He is my #1 TE simply because this is what the new age TE looks like. 6'-4", 245 and can stretch a defense vertically down the seam. Not a ton of wiggle but he can do damage in the open field. I think he is a H-back, move TE in the NFL.

TEs
Brycen Hopkins - Purdue - my #2 or 3ish TE right now. I want to see him catch the ball at the senior bowl. I have concerns, but he gets open.From Alyo's post Senior Bowl review: [

Alyo - Purdue Brycen Hopkins TE Big Ten He's on everyone's radar so he'll go early.

TEs:
Who cares they all suck. No not really, But I have zero first rounders.
Hopkins is my top guy and he is 245. Shaky hands. Gauntlet should be an adventure for him (Me now - he had a very good combine IMO)
