    I think they will play more man, but I think they want the flexibility to play both more than one or the other. Also, there's a lot more mixed coverage getting used these days where the defense is playing zone in one place and man in another.

     

    Yes I get what your saying but its not like they can be like hey Benford, Tre, and Taron  get out there and play zone and Hairston, Strong, and Hancock get out there and play me some man.

    Not that they would cut Alec Anderson (they love him from everything I've read) but does Hawes steal a few snaps from him this season? Having a guy that can block but also has the ability to sneak out and be a target is nice. 

     

    I think he is likely going to eventually take Gilliam's job either in year 1 or 2 and when Anderson moves into David Edwards spot he'll probably be that new 6th lineman but thats just a guess.

    Brugler's summary..

     

    also I know this guy is a blocking specialist but if he ever gets loose and scores, Chris Brown can say Jackson took one to the HAWSE.

     

     

    SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Georgia Tech, Hawes was an inline tight end in ofensive coordinator Buster Faulkner's run-heavy scheme (65.0 percent of snaps inline, 28.3 percent in the slot). He spent five years at Yale and picked up an Ivy League degree before spending his final college season with the Yellow Jackets in 2024. His performance at Georgia Tech earned him draftable grades from NFL teams. As a pass catcher, Hawes tracks and catches the ball well, but he wasn't a high-volume target in college — that is reflected in his inefcient route running and choppy attempts to separate at the stem. Where he shines is as a versatile, throwback blocker who can dig out defenders and stay between his target and the football.

     

    Overall, Hawes is a one-speed athlete and has a low ceiling as a passing target, but his functional athleticism, technical approach and competitive attitude should be enough to keep him on an NFL roster. He is a classic Y tight end prospect.

     

    Brugler fails to mention that he was a transfer to Georgia Tech. He was a multi year starter at Yale before transferring to Georgia Tech so you know this dude is smart as hell. Smart and tough football player late in the 5th.

  4. Jackson Hawes was in my top 10 rankings for TE's. He is a monster blocker at the TE position. He also will put Reggie Gilliam's job in jeopardy as well and he will play special teams.  Hawes is an excellent pick to compliment the two guys we already have in the room.

    think Longerbeam would be adequate to potentially fill the Taron role if he’s injured again this year and potentially gone the next?

     

    Yea I like Longerbeam he is just undersized. Not sure if he's the tackler that Taron Johnson is but he would be able to be a backup slot.

    Which LB's on your list?  Please tell me Stutsman 

     

    Stutsman is already gone but yea I have liked Stutsman since I saw him play FSU as a freshmen? I want to say

     

    Chris Paul

    Shaun Dolac

    Chandler Martin

    Cody Lindenberg

     

    I do like some other guys still available:

    Kain Medrano UCLA

    Jackson Woodard UNLV

  7. I spoke about really liking Jackson Hawes a TE from Georgia Tech as well. He's the type of guy that has versatility that teams look for this late in the draft. Can be a FB/TE(mostly blocking) and will play all Special Teams he'd actually probably make a perfect TE 3 for the Bills.

    Tory Horton and Mitchell Evans please fall to our 2 picks.

     

    Not that its be all end all but the only TE they publicly met with was Thomas Fidone who could go in this area from Nebraska. They had him for a private workout so they personally worked him out. Oronde Gadsden is still there. I'd take him to be honest but he is another tweener TE/WR
