This TE did very well in the Senior Bowl so I wonder if he will be available to the Redskins by the third round. I think the Redskins will be targeting a WR in the third round (very deep WR class this draft) to compete with Harmon for the WR #2 spot OR the best OT or C available. Of course, Kyle Smith has been able to get starters or even elite starters (McLaurin and Dunbar) from the lower draft levels. I mean he's got starters from the UDFA picks. I mean most teams are just happy to get a Special Teams player out from their UDFA picks in a year. It's just very rare to get starters and especially ROOKIE starters from the UDFA.
So I think Kyle Smith will draft one TE from the draft. But our starter is going to come from FA. A very good TE like Hooper is going to be very expensive and we'll be competing to get him against other teams. He'll be a top-paid TE, just like Scherff may be the highest paid OG if we keep him.
