Speeding to class (late) I heard an interview on Sirius NFL radio with Leonard Pope, sounded like a good guy, he's a TE who loves to block but ran a 4.6 40 (not bad for someone who's 6'7 [May have misheard this]) and they asked him did any teams give him a wink and a nod saying that they really like you and we're taking you if available.
First team he mentioned was The Washington Redskins really talked to him a lot, and the Chicago Bears did too. He sounded excited about Washington since apparently we have quite a few Georgia guys on our squad (I didn't know that.)
Does anyone know anything about this guy? What does he do in games? Etc. Just curious!

he is 6'7" and he's a complete tight end. he's probably top 2 in TE blocking this draft, he should be around at our pick in the 2nd. It might be better strategy to get a OG/OT and take klop in the 3rd though, since most of the best OG prospects will be gone before our second pick. He's missing elite TE speed, but only 4-5 guys in the nfl have that.
but i've been up on him for a while.

If he did run a 4.6-40, that's pretty close to elite. Davis, Winslow, and Shockey are the only good TEs that I know of that ran sub-4.6 times.

Both of the Clemons brothers played for Georgia.
Phillip Daniels and Demitric Evans. 4 Players, more than the "U".

what about gonzo or gates or ben watson? those guys are pretty fast too. Teyo johnson may have been faster too (he's been worthless as far as nfl production though).
like i said though ;) he's a complete TE, but his speed is above average more than elite ;)

I've definatly seen some boards that have his as a late 1st rounder. It would be a steal if we could get him at 2.

there's also a lot of guys that grew up in georgia... i wonder if he also ment that (i think carlos rogers came from there, among others).

it really depends on whether the board rates fasano above pope and team needs. that 6'7" and a 4.6 do make him stick out though :(
it sucks cause i had a great board going based on who was underrated and everyone's been climbing to where they should have started :/

let me say this again,we dont need a te(at least not drafting one with our one and only high pick)
