Easley had minimal production at Iowa because of the offense obviously focused on running and TEs. 

 

Apparently he dominated his pro day and tested off the charts including running an insane 3 cone. Very similar mindset as the Knox pick

Slot receiver then?

Sounds like it:

Nick Easley, WR, Iowa 

 

Two Hawkeyes in this mock and neither plays tight end? Easley may not be linked to the Patriots quite as often as his teammates T.J. Hockenson or Noah Fant, but he looks like a fit at a position in the New England offense that is just as critical. At 5-foot-11, 203 pounds, he's a solidly-built slot -- like seventh-round receiver Julian Edelman -- and lightning quick. His 3.87-second short shuttle at Iowa's pro day was better than Edelman's (3.92 seconds) blazing time coming out of Kent State, and it approached the ridiculous number posted by Deion Branch back in 2002 (3.78 seconds). Easley's three-cone time (6.55) was also remarkable. A captain as a sophomore at Iowa Western Community College and named to Iowa's Leadership Group last year, Easley was the Outback Bowl's most valuable player after hauling in eight passes for 104 yards and two scores against No. 18 Mississippi State.

 

Easley was also mentioned as a good match for the Patriots -- in case you needed any more evidence -- in our discussion with his strength and conditioning coach on The Next Pats Podcast.

I'd be fine with being the new Pats...without all the douchiness

Thank You...couldn't even find Easley in the WRs on the NFL draft tracker. Lol.
