[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 812893"] Given what we know now, I'd take Hockenson over Fant. Hockenson is actually a TE, if that's what you're looking for. The little I've seen of Fant he looks like an oversized WR, and one to whom Iowa stopped throwing the ball, which begs a question. I don't think I'd want Fant at all at this early juncture unless he was diving down the board. Somebody, I forget who, had the Packers taking Fant at #14 when the Packers had that projected pick. It just goes to show, don't mock drunk. We don't know yet if either or both will declare for the draft. Fant likely, Hockenson? There are a lot of needs on this roster and TE is not currently at the top of the list. However, if the Packers held onto Graham, paid him the $300,000 roster bonus due before the draft, then were able to draft Hockenson after a good Combine in the second round, and then cut Graham for the cap savings, I would not cry. I might even smile. Then again, I'm looking for a build toward 2020, but I seem to be alone in that opinion. Lets see what these guys do at the Combine, if they even declare, before we get too carried away. NFL linebackers keep getting faster. I don't want a TE who doesn't run at least in the 4.6's. If Hockenson, or anybody else, can't crack that number I'm not interested. [/QUOTE]
