Welcome to Motown Man 🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯

[@davidwollerton5303]

This kid is not going to last in the first round. He is easily a top 10 pick.

[@remotelydysfunctional7624]

David Wollerton Good call.

[@jordanstatler4661]

Wish they'd shown some of his blocking too. He's pancaked several guys this year...lol.

[@Snowboundless]

Yeah sad they missed that nasty block he had against IU.

[@iSkiZm24]

thats the reason hes my No. 1 TE over Fant. Fant is insanely atheltic and has soft hands but hes more Zach Ertz than Gronkowski. Hockenson loves to block too

[@galenrwhite9672]

Yes Good call, He's the Man!

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

@@iSkiZm24 I dont even consider Fant as Ertz. More like a more vertical Eric Ebron.

[@iSkiZm24]

@@gabrielcarrasco8414 Ebron's been nasty this year

[@jLenger1]

TJ's come along way since high school. I wish I had more opportunities to play against him. Might not be able to cover him anymore, but he never completed a catch when I was on him, lol. I'm excited to see him play in the NFL, but I still think he should stay one more year at Iowa.

[@oshayplaycousin1041]

Lol

[@jLenger1]

@@Ahdgz Haha, I'm not bashing TJ, he's a great player. I played against him in high school when he was a freshman and sophomore. Played him in basketball too, always thought he was a better basketball player. I'm just saying I wish he would stay one more year at Iowa. I say that for all players who are still eligible to play in college. Desmond King, Marvin McNutt, Adrien Clayborn, CJ Beathard, Ricky Stanzi, Tyler Sash, Shonn Greene, I've been following Iowa football for a long time. I just like to see players play all the way through college before declaring for the draft.

Welcome to the Detroit Lions

[@daviddhoughton]

Foles is gonna love him in Jacksonville

[@tealtown904]

Best tight end in the draft, gotta get him at #7 !!!!

[@jsmithlmt51]

DUUUUVAALLL

[@EFunkRock]

Detroit just drafted him minutes ago.

[@Swisscranmer]

I'd like to see him go to a team that utilizes him right. He's more of a run after the catch TE like Reed, Olsen and Kelce.

[@RicanDaddi09]

Come On Jags, We Need To Get This Guy at TE for Foles.

[@TwoKrispy]

Bills baby Bills. Let's get it done Beane.

[@tyzilla87]

I'd LOVE to see him in a Pats jersey tbh. Whether Gronk plays 1 more season or not, he can possibly Gronks replacement. Pats will draft this kid, if he's still there when they pick.

[@irishmadhatter]

more likely he will be drafted by the Pats he is on their top list

[@tylert774]

He won't make it to 32

[@theskeptik1]

Packers are taking this kid with the 12th overall pick.

[@tylert774]

Leperchaun Wrangler hopefully not I'd rather we get an edge guy at 12 and he's still there at 30

[@shigsho]

Sadly he WON'T be on the board for NE.

[@rayyanmoton5557]

Welcome to the Den TJ!

[@jjwiggs28]

Would love to see this kid in a Cowboy's uniform. Not sure he'll be there at #59 though. Certainly fills a big need. Jarwin came on late in the season but we need playmakers at TE.

[@arod927-01]

He can't be 59

[@shigsho]

59? This guy is a CERTAIN first rounder. Maybe top 20.

[@kamadowoah4584]

derek carr going to look good next year throwing to this guy and jered cook.

[@rocafellagibson502]

Fasho look like a gruden grinder

[@carloshuertamoreno4103]

With the 24th pick...

[@shadowing32]

Dude is a nasty blocker too, something Jared Cook can't do. Really want this guy dressed up in silver and black.

[@hitmakermike5865]

Thats what im saying ...but what are we gonna do with cook if he wants a big check ? 1 year contract and let this guy take over if cook leaves? Something that sounds good. Either TE or WR at 24. Go Raiders

[@native8876]

I really think if the Raiders can't Cook back in free agency they should trade back a few spots and grab this guy. With all the weapons they've added this year he would solidify that receiving corps and give Derrek a nice safety blanket .

[@bobswizzle10]

I like Hockenson a little better than Fant

[@trejones6724]

Can we argue that this team was actually better than the 12-0 team? Their four losses were all one score games!

[@joeloluyole3198]

Denver

[@TommyRibs]

Dude is great.

[@tjpoe9466]

Steelers need a CB or MLB in the 1st, but this is the only offensive player i wouldnt be completely mad about them taking.

Foles to Hockenson! Go Jags!

[@sean_s_1182]

crocodogg Go Jags! Duval till we die

[@deezy890]

Not gunna happen, getting a tight end at #7 pick would be dumb. Especially since you could get the best guy available which would probably be DE Rashan Gary. If u pass up on Gary Packers will take him but if u get him, Hockenson will be in Green & yellow 😎

[@chrisbowman4346]

@@deezy890 getting a tight end might be the BAP for them at 7. They either go TE or OT

@@mitchsbtrippin4939 aww Mitchell is using hindsite to look smart lol. They were going to take Hockenson but you cant pass up a Josh Allen.

[@NoHuddleHawkeyes]

4th down catch against NE to set up the FG?

[@jonneat108]

The last tightened to have been drafted higher than 10th overall was Vern Davis at 7th 49ers in 2006. Is 'Hock' as talented as Vernon, or would Drafting a tight end within the first 10 picks be considered Reaching or, 'over-valuing' a player that many believe will last until the middle of the first round? Of course. Nearly Every draft board is all over the place at this time of year. However, with the packers, browns, jags, Jets being the most active in free agency, team needs v. sitting and snagging the best over all talent weighs out.

[@deezy890]

jon Neat he’s coming to the Packers

[@ArmandoFL]

This guy is a beast. !!!!

[@jesusoftheapes]

Hockenson is the best TE I have ever scouted in my 40 years of life . No TE has ever been a sure thing and a potential star year one like Hockenson is . Fant and Smith Jr are going to be dynomite TEs in the NFL but Hock is better . Way Way Way better !

[@daviddhoughton]

His hurdles tho! DAMN!

Tony Mandarich, Terrell 'T-Buck' Buckley and a plethora of other First Round picks were busts for the Packers.... Actual percentages between picks 1-5 and 6-10 to that of 11-15 and the success, lack there of is very interesting. I believe, that as long as the top Offensive Tackle or a top 10 Edge doesn't fall to 12, that Gutenkunst will stay with this pick and take Hock.
