[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1538306, member: 85743"] Here's the NFL.com draft info on Kmet: [b][u]Draft Projection[/u][/b] Round 2 [b][u]NFL Comparison[/u][/b] Tyler Higbee [b][u]Overview[/u][/b] Long bodied, early entry Y tight end prospect who is a better pass threat than run blocker at this stage. Kmet should continue to fill out his frame, but his run blocking is too scattered and needs better focus and efficiency as a pro. He can be jammed and slowed by early contact into his route, but once he's striding, he becomes a legitimate second-level threat with sneaky separation speed and intriguing ball skills. He's still developing and could be a slow starter headed into the league, but he has the talent to eventually become a solid starter as a pass-catching in-line tight end with the ability to mismatch from the slot with his size. [b][u]Strengths[/u][/b] -Good size with long arms and more mass likely to be added -Will come across formation and land a blow on wham blocks -Adequate hand placement and runs feet through the block -Nice job of staying connected to base blocks with lateral slides -Gets defenders off of him downfield for catch space -Calm in the air to adjust and bring it in -Can go get the ball wherever it is thrown -Heavy inside his pads with ability to absorb contact -Rumbles after catch, treating tacklers like bumper cars [b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b] -Body control and strength as a blocker need work -Below-average instincts and angles as move blocker -Inefficient and slow getting into block fits -Needs to play with earlier inside hands and rolled hips at point of attack -Too tall coming off the ball and into his routes -Has issues playing through contact within the first five yards -Upright into brakes, allowing defenders to read and jump routes -Questionable hand strength to secure contested catches [/QUOTE]
