TE Arthur Lynch, Georgia -- There is a lot of Anthony Fasano in Lynch's game, and truth be told, Fasano is probably Lynch's ceiling. Like Fasano, Lynch is an athletically limited tight end with pretty good hands who is a really reliable blocker. Lynch's blocking game is among the best this Draft has to offer: the Bulldogs regularly asked Lynch to block defensive ends, which is usually a tall task for tight ends. Lynch handles himself very well in the blocking game, with quick feet, a low base, and the ability to twist defenders away from the play. His game isn't perfect on that front, but it's really impressive. Lynch, however, just isn't the athlete that many of his colleagues are. He ran a 4.8 at the Combine, and he looks almost like a 5.0 guy on the field -- like Sean McGrath, really. He doesn't shake coverage effectively at all, but when the ball does get to him, he will reel it in with his great hands. The right coach might be able to show him how to use his body to shield defenders off better, but for the now, Lynch looks like a 6th rounder to me.
