Hmmm top 10 pick vs a 3rd round pick. What is the point in this?

What's the point in where they were picked. Maybin would have been bad in the 3rd round. Therefore the point is they have poor college production.

His lack of production is quite disturbing.

 

Seems like he was primarily used as a blocker in Ole Miss.  Knox made a statement about that and was frustrated by it, but did what he was asked to do.  I can't imagine he'll be utilized as a Greg Olson type TE in Buffalo.

He’s got some really interesting traits.

 

He shows good blocking ability.

 

Seems to have played in a system that almost refused to utilize him. 

 

They needed a tight end, and he’s got some major upside. Tight end is one of the hardest positions in the draft to project to the pro level. 

 

Usually the college guys show they can catch on film but they don’t block enough for pro coaches to feel comfortable. Knox is almost the opposite. He’s shown he can block adequately already. He just needs to show he can be that receiver as well. And he has the athletic qualities to do that as well.

Wonder why no Hakeem Butler love ... we must really like the WR room with the FA signings. .. Below production by Butler kind of outshines Knox's stats

Butler finally had a really good QB to work with this past year. I don't care if Butler goes in the 7th, he will be a very productive WR for whomever drafts him.

According to CBS Sports

Dawson Knox TE, MISS

Height: 6-4, Weight: 254

Knox can run, and he helps fill a need in Buffalo as they retool the position. It's another weapon for Josh Allen. Knox was underutilized at Ole Miss, so he could be better in the pros.

A GRADE

Some of you guys are insufferable tbh. The guy is a great pick and great value at 96. People were talking about him going in round 2. 

 

He didn’t have the stats because Mississippi has had QB issues and they have 3 NFL WRs. He was misused by them as well and used as a FB essentially there.

 

Ran a 4.51 is huge and has plus athleticism. Tons of upside. A more complete player than Jace Sternberger.  Their worst pick has been Singletary but even he isn’t a bad player just might have been early.  

 

Id go:

Oliver A+

Ford A

Singletary B-

Knox A-

Stop stat reading.. my goodness.. The game is played on the field not in stat sheets. 

The guy we’re getting isn’t the guy on the stat page. He’s fast, can block and catch, if he’s utilized in the game plan he can be a HUGE weapon.
