Also what's your opinion on TE Troy Niklas? That I'm mad he left. And that he should absolutely be an option for the steelers in the 2nd if he is there. Highly doubt he lasts til the 3rd comp.

I honestly know nothing of him :/ He is like 6'6" or 6'7" an prob 270. He can block and run routes out of inline or flexed. Not sure he will be athletic enough to be a GREAT receiving TE in the pros, but he should be good and could become a great blocker. He is a Notre Dame TE. So you know he's gonna be good.

Niklas is a man-child, plain and simple. He was trucking Michigan linebackers like it was nothing when we played. I'm surprised he declared, but there's no doubt he'll be drafted.

What's everyone's opinion on Kelvin Benjamin? Of course he looks the part at 6'5" 235 with some good athletic ability but has questions about mental lapses when catching the ball and running some routes. He also shows willingness to block often being motioned into the back field or in the slot acting as an additional "TE" in walling off defenders. If there was no questions about his hands there would be no doubt that he'd be the first WR off the board and likely a top 10 selections. You hit it right on the head about Benjamin, really. No doubt he has special potential, but he's raw. And I'm not really a fan of raw prospects in the first. I like my first rounders to be able to make an instant impact. Developmental prospects are usually meant for the later rounds. Benjamin will be taken in the first though.
