The thing that makes me thing they could keep Stocker is his versatility. He's the H-back/fullback and really improved down the stretch. I could see them keeping Stocker as the FB/4th TE even.

Justafan Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The Titans are fine at TE but two elite athletes with big-time production are likely available in the first round. TE is a position where you can upgrade the passing game, the blocking, and the run game all with one player. It's tough to overlook guys like Hockenson and Fant especially if the top 5 edge guys are all gone by the time 19 rolls around.

Yeah I'm down for spending 1st rounders on talent you're unlikely to find in other rounds, even if it's not the primary need. These two TEs are rare specimens it seems. And even if TE isn't a huge need right away, it will be soon enough. You may not get this class to choose from again any time soon.

Thrill Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 We don't need Fant in the first. Firkser is a really good pass catcher who can't block. We don't need to waste a first round pick on another guy like that (even if he is an athletic marvel). Hockenson can block and catch. He would also be able to study under Delanie and Jonnu which would be fantastic. We could literally run a 3TE set with CD split out wide and Henry in the backfield. NO ONE would know what kind of play is coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 On the NFLN Path to the Draft episode today Daniel Jeremiah named Hockenson as his favorite prospect in this draft, mentioned he has the rare Gronk like ability to influence the game without touching the ball.

Number9 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I said I liked Fant because when I started looking Hockenson would be gone. Fant has to become a better blocker to be NFL elite, but he's not terrible. If it was either or, I would take Hockenson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT9 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hockenson > Fant by a mile. Everybody is saying Hock will never make it to Tenn pick though. Rolltide, and Omar 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Having the displeasure of watching multiple Eastern Iowa U games, Hockensen is a true blue chip player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
