Why little talk about him? Has great hands and is neck and neck with OJ Howard as best blocking TE in this draft class. Has great straight line speed but needs to work on his route running and separation skills to keep defenders from quickly figuring out his routes.

Will Tye - 7.21
Jerell Adams - 7.05
Matt Lacosse - 7.30
Rhett Ellison - 7.16
And then compared to the top 5 TE combine results, where Kittle didn't participate...
OJ Howard - 6.85
Engram - 6.92
Njoku - 6.97
Everett - 6.99
Roberts - 7.05
I'd prefer a guy who can really work the seam like Njoku, Engram, and Everrett to pair with Ellison. If we can't get one of those three I feel like we should just continue to develop Adams for that role.
