00:00I think Tyler Warren can come in and produce.
00:01I don't think there's much of an incubation period
00:03like there used to be with these tight ends.
00:05So Tyler Warren is the guy that I like.
00:07Outside the top five, who don't you like?
00:09I'm sorry, who do you like?
00:11Harold Fannin.
00:12I don't know how you can go wrong with Harold Fannin.
00:15So he was at Bowling Green last year
00:17and led the nation with 117 catches
00:21and over 1,500 yards, also had 10 touchdowns.
00:26Now, he is the smallest guy that we've named so far.
00:30He is kind of more like a H-back type.
00:34I think he's listed at 6'3", 241,
00:37so much shorter than all the other prospects that we talked about
00:40and given up probably 15 pounds.
00:42But in the modern NFL, I'm not looking for the extra tackle-like blocker.
00:48I don't really need that.
00:50And if some of those tight ends can do both great,
00:52that helps your offense.
00:53But I'll take a guy, and not to go down this route,
00:56but could it be like Josh McDaniels and an Aaron Hernandez type?
01:00Could he go there?
01:01Although I guess that was more Bill O'Brien.
01:02But you know what I'm saying?
01:03Could it be somebody like that that you line him up all over the place?
01:07He's the best probably run-after-catch guy out of all the ones on here.
01:11The biggest knocks on him would be you can't really line him up
01:15and have him block, which is fine.
01:17I'm fine with that.
01:18This would be another weapon type of guy
01:20that you might be able to put with Drake Mann.
01:22But I'm interested in him as a prospect.
01:23I would identify two other knocks.
01:25One's just the level of play, right?
01:27Bowling Green.
01:27And then he is a bit of a one-year wonder, right?
01:30Oh, he had a massive year.
01:32It was a great year.
01:33117 catches, 1500 yards, 10 touchdowns.
01:35The year before half of that, right?
01:36But it was kind of one year, which I'm willing to overlook,
01:40but I think it's worth underscoring.
01:42The guy that I would highlight,
01:43and I just don't think you can go wrong with an Iowa tight end,
01:47is Luke Lachey.
01:49Now, I say you can't go wrong.
01:50I mean, maybe you get yourself Noah Fant or a guy like that
01:52who is highly drafted and can't play.
01:55But it's a good track record in Iowa.
01:56George Kittle, TJ Hawkinson, Sam Laporta,
02:00they get these guys ready for the next level.
02:02So I'm not going to overdraft him,
02:03but if you're talking in the middle rounds,
02:05a guy who I'd take a flyer on just based on the track record
02:07at Iowa, Luke Lachey would be the guy for me.
