117th overall-Crockett Gillmore– Coloado State- Gilmore is another TE in this draft that offers intriguing scheme possibilities. He’s got some rough edges to smooth out, but after an impressive Senior bowl week -and game- he’s shown he is definitely ready to take on the next level and succeed. Probably more of a Flex and H-back type, but shows the ability to block inline and play with his hand in the dirt.

Alternate pick: Jake Murphy– Utah- Murphy profiles best as another Flex type who can line up all over the field. Very athletic with good fluidity for a big man. Offers a wealth of scheme possibilities. Murphy would benefit from an NFL weight training program. Shows the edge needed to block inline. In the meantime he would make a good complimentary piece opposite Bennett.
