He's the strongest TE at the Combine and is a great blocker with decent hands. He reminds me of the kind of TE that the Tuna would like down in Miami.

I wouldn't mind seing us taking him in the 3rd round. He sounds better than Fred Davis.

I would be excited about netting Stevens. He is the TE has the best combo of blocking and receiving other than John Carlson, and I am beginning to doubt Carlson lasts to us in the 3rd. Darrell Strong from Pitt would be the other TE I'd like. All threee (Stevens, Carlson, Strong) give us a good receiver who can block.

The only question is just how high a draft pick a blocking tight end is really worth. Yes, Stevens can catch passes; he's scoring a 21-yard touchdown against UCLA in the photo. But he never caught more than three passes in any one game in his college career, and most teams think a tight end who's purely a blocker shouldn't be a first-day pick. But the team that drafts Stevens will have a guy who can step in and contribute in short yardage immediately.

First day picks are not what they used to be. Third round picks are now taken on 2nd day.

Considering he is projected to go in the 6th, he should be there in the 3rd if you want him.

...And many say he'd be there as early as the first round! LOL
