Being 6'2" 240 is going to take him out of the running for a lot of teams looking for a Y. You almost have to view him as a separate position. Kyle Shanahan's offense uses a fullback pretty heavily. But he prefers someone with an H Back skill set. That's why the Niners paid significant money for Kyle Juszczyk. Now he lead blocks and catches 30 passes/season. I see Irv Smith as a guy who would fill that role, but with more production in the passing game and more versatility.As to your first question, yes I would argue that Hockenson and Fant are value enough to take in the first round. Neither are my first choice at #12 and #30 respectively, but both belong in the conversation. Hockenson would be a great target in a trade down scenario, if that should happen to be an option.However, the need isn't so dire that they must come out of round 1 with one of those guys. If they go different directions and end up with someone like Warring later, that's great too.</blockquote>
