Weslye Saunders , TE, Steelers, UDFA. S. Car.: Good size. Have not seen. Reportedly fast and athletic. Reportedly has good hands. Broke foot at Combine, which isn’t surprising since he seemed out of shape before that. Foot hadn’t healed by pro day. Below-average upper-body strength. Dismissed from team in September. Major character issues. Steelers have shown interest.
Luke Stocker, TE, Buccaneers, 4th round. Tenn.: Average size. Nice hands. Strong upper body. Good run blocker. Average speed and quickness. A little stiff running routes and runs too upright to adjust direction well. Hard time out of breaks. Poor tracking. Often compared to Jason Witten, but Charles Davis compares him more to Brad Cottam. Played in Senior Bowl. Could turn out to be team’s starting TE and has fantasy potential in improving young offense. Likely eventual TE2.
Jordan Cameron, TE, Browns, 4th round. S. Cal.: Average size. Athletic former BYU basketball player. Also played WR in college. Very good speed, hands, and vertical leap. Strong lower body. Precise routes. Average upper-body strength. Fairly quick, but a little slow off of line. Trouble judging passes and sometimes jumps unnecessarily. Reminds some of Jimmy Graham with less size. Will compete to be team’s TE3, but has Watson and Moore ahead of him now. Could turn out to be team’s TE1 but not likely to be more than fantasy TE2.
Virgil Green II, TE, Broncos, 7th round. Nev.: Slightly below-average size. Very explosive athlete with excellent verticals — may make him an excellent red-zone target. Good speed. A natural hands catcher. Beats man coverage regularly. Nice tracking. Average upper-body strength. Adequate blocking skills. Will compete with fellow rookie Julius Thomas for starting position, but may still be effective as TD threat. Solid TE3 right away with TE1 potential.
“David” DJ Williams, TE, Packers, 5th round. Ark.: Short for the position, with H-back bulk. Smart player with good hands and balance. Very good effort. Average speed and upper-body strength. Below-average quickness. OK run blocker, but easily pulled off his feet. Good pass blocker, though has had a bad camp in that area. In Senior Bowl. At NFL Combine. Goes to stacked TE group in Green Bay but should be at least their TE2 ahead of Quarless. Has long-term fantasy TE1 potential if Finley leaves or is injured again.
Lance Kendricks, TE, Rams, 2nd round. Wis.: Short for the position, with H-back bulk. Good speed. Above-average upper-body strength. Gets open consistently versus man coverage. Good hands, though not at Combine. Average quickness. Solid blocker when he latches on, but he needs to work on meeting defender. In bowl game, whiffed one block and was folded backward on another. Played in Senior Bowl. Likely to be team’s every-down TE and will definitely be on field during 2TE sets. Being moved around a lot. Has solid potential. TE3 right away with TE2 potential.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Vikings, 2nd round. Notre Dame: Good size. Has had a few injuries in college. At NFL Combine, DNP-injured. Junior who has declared for 2011 draft. Will replace Shiancoe on team by 2012 and should be solid TE2.
Julius Thomas, TE, Broncos, 4th round. Portland St.: Slightly below-average size. Fairly athletic former basketball player. Runs nice routes. Average speed, quickness and hands. Did short-arm a pass when hit was coming. Weak upper body. Will compete with fellow rookie Virgil Green for starting position, but may still be effective as more of an every-down TE. Solid TE3 right away with TE2 potential.
Austin Pettis, WR, Rams, 3rd round. Boise St.: Very good size. Excellent quickness in short spaces. Tough — broke leg late in 2009 but was able to play in bowl. Very good hands — and can high-point the ball though he doesn’t get very high in jump ball situations. Athletic, with good body control. Adequate speed for the size. Below-average upper-body strength, but uses superior size to box out corners for jump balls. Fumbled going into end zone in 2010 bowl game. Played in Senior Bowl. May have landed in one of the best spots for him, with no clear-cut better WRs on Rams team. Will compete with Brandon Gibson and Danario Alexander for WR2 spot, and should beat them by the end of the year. Will give Bradford a great red-zone target and possession receiver. Has eventual high-end WR2 potential.
Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Giants, 3rd round. Troy: Short, but adequate bulk. Very good hands, speed and quickness. Great vision and moves after catch. Very natural hands. Excellent returner who is balanced, smart, and tough to find and tackle. Shows good field awareness. Fairly tough — injured in bowl game but returned. Also was injured during Senior Bowl training and was replaced on roster. Very weak upper body. Looks like a great slot receiver. Likely to start immediately in slot, but his potential limited by offense.
