Yes, there really is such a thing and even more ridiculous, I'm bored/desperate enough to click on it.

Anyway, it has A.J. Epenesa being picked 14th and Noah Fant being picked 21st. I can certainly see either/both of them being chosen that highly.

I can definitely see that. Fant might not be your prototypical blocking TE, but he's a matchup nightmare at the next level as well. I could see him being used like the Pats use Gronk, splitting him out wide and trying to get him all sorts of favorable matchups.

Hockensen will get a look too, not just because I think he's pretty darn good, but he'll fit the conventional TE mold a lot better, and Iowa TEs and OL have good standing in NFL circles.

Eppy really needs no explanation, just an athletic freak.

While he might not be first round, I've heard rumblings of Stanley's prospects down the line, and we seem to have built a recent reputation for dependable QBs. If he can keep improving his technique, he's got "wow" arm strength and a prototypical frame that QB gurus will drool over. I mean, hell, if Josh Allen can be regarded as a top 10 pick, why not Stanley?

Reputation for dependable (QBs) or Iowa running a pro style offense finally paying off? Wisconsin had guys like Sorgi and Tolzien play in the league simply because they knew how to run a pro style offense.

I really look forward to what Stanley can do the next couple years. He should be pretty darn good. If his TE targets stay healhty and a WR or two could emerge look out.
 








I think he is one of the top five tight ends for next years draft. He may be number one on some 2019 boards for tight ends when the decision time to leave comes around.
 


One thing I didn't realize is that Fant had 16.5 yards per catch. That led D-1 TE's. Next was UCF's TE at 16.1, followed by Oklahoma's TE at 15.5. They were the only 3 over 15 YPC. When I looked at his stats, I thought 16.5 was pretty good for a TE, but wanted to compare. He also led TE's with 11 TD's.

Are we going to lose another one early next year? I say it all of the time that I hope we keep getting guys that are good enough to leave early. It honestly doesn't bother me at all when they do, because I'm happy we got them for the time we did.

Imagine his stats if he didn’t drop so many passes. That will be the biggest area he needs to improve. Monster drop at Wisconsin that could have gone for a TD and gave Iowa the lead in the 3rd quarter of that one.

Was going to say something similar. He reminds me of Devin Funchess when he was at Michigan. The numbers look fantastic but the drops are too prevalent to just ignore when you aren't just looking at the stat sheet. Now Funchess ended up switching to WR and is in the NFL, so hopefully it all comes together for Noah, his future is certainly bright. Comparing him to Gronk is bit over the top though, Gronk literally has bear paws that reach out and snatch anything within three yards of him in either direction, he's really unique to anyone that's ever played in the NFL.
