NFL Draft Rounds 2-3

Trautman been Mel’s best available for awhile and several other TEs have gone off the board. What we doing if he’s there at the beginning of the 4th round?

There goes Niang.

I think our next pick will either be Harrison Bryant or Adam Trautman.

There goes Trautman.

Trautman just went ... Saints traded back into draft to snag him.

I’ve wanted either of the Bryant tight ends. Hopefully we can land one tomorrow. Jeeze even Thaddeus moss for heavens sake.

I love how the NFL Network and every channel it's being broadcasted on is pretending like the Pats are gonna be fine. Nah. Brady >> Stidham, but just by a tad lol.

After reading this evaluation, this guy sound like he has huge potential and speed.

Albert Okwuegbunam*, TE, Missouri
Height: 6-5. Weight: 258. Hand: 10.25. Arm: 34.13.
40 Time: 4.49.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/21/20: Okwuegbunam was one of the stars of the combine with an electric 40 time, but some teams have ruled him out because of his maturity and makeup. If Okwuegbunam did not have those concerns, he would be an early-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and probably the top-rated tight end.


In 2019, Okwuegbunam caught 26 passes for 306 yards and six touchdowns. He is a mismatch weapon for the passing game, but his receiving production was hurt in 2019 by losing Drew Lock to the NFL and having Kelly Bryant replace Lock. Okwuegbunam's blocking looked somewhat improved year over year. Overall, his blocking is average for a receiving tight end. While Okwuegbunam is not a cowardly blocker like some receiving tight ends, Okwuegbunam lacks physicality and doesn't block to his size.

8/17/19: Okwuegbunam was one of the most dangerous mismatch weapons in college football during 2018, even though Missouri did not always utilize him. When the Tigers did use him, he produced big plays for them via his speed to get down the seam and his size to wall off defenders or make catches over them when they were able to keep him from getting separation. In 2018, he had 43 receptions for 466 yards with six touchdowns. He also missed the last four games with a shoulder injury. Some team sources said that Okwuegbunam is not a bad guy, but he is high maintenance for his coaches.

According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Okwuegbunam checks in at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in a quick 4.70 seconds. His arms measure at 33.63 inches, his hands at 10 inches, and his wingspan at 80.75 inches.

Okwuegbunam was a dangerous red-zone weapon in 2017, hauling in 11 touchdowns from Drew Lock. Missouri opened up its offense with Lock in the back half of that season, using Okwuegbunam as one of is steady receiving threats. The redshirt freshman hauled in 29 receptions for 415 yards on the year.

Okwuegbunam could develop into a player with three-down starter consideration. Sources say that Okwuegbunam is impressive as he is big and athletic, runs fast, and catches the heck out of the ball. Scouts say that they've heard Okwuegbunam runs in the 4.5s and not the 4.70 that was listed on NFL teams' watch lists.

He along with Harrison Bryant are my first choices at TE tomorrow. Albert O. Has George Kittle attributes, not saying he will be Kittle but his measurements remind me of that

Or it could be this guy who from what I read could have been a 1st rounder, his lack of passion for the game is his problem. Maybe an attitude change is all he needs. Prince Tega Wanogho

A little one on one practice vs Chase Young might help him move forward.

BOTTOM LINE

He’s going to get picked fairly high, and whoever takes him will be looking to improve upon a supremely physical and naturally talented prospect. His learning will come with time and experience, and the crash course he got in college will only expand in the NFL. I don’t know if he starts right away, but he should be getting plenty of opportunities and he’ll be a solid starter before too long. Maybe never a perennial Pro-Bowler, but he’s not going to let the quarterback get too dirty back there.

Round Value: 2nd Round
