2014 NFL Draft Player Scouting Report – Cincinnati TE Blake Annen

Only Sacc would consider a guy who's managed just 2 complete seasons and 1 year with more than 500 yards a "very solid all-around NFL tight end."

According to Packer Report, Washington TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins clocked a 4.56 forty-yard dash during a Friday workout with the Jets.
We're always wary of misinformation this time of year, but Packer Report's source is ex-NFL scout Dave-Te' Thomas, who has a solid reputation as far as we can tell. Seferian-Jenkins weighed in at 6-foot-6, 271, making the 4.56 mind blowing even if you account for a potentially "fast track." ASJ added a ridiculous 37 1/2-inch vertical, per the report. The 2013 Mackey Award winner did not test at the Combine due to foot surgery to repair a stress fracture. We expect Seferian-Jenkins to be a second-round draft pick.

Slightly new info.

those are great numbers.

That being said, only the team will know how big a need it the TE position is. Right now QBs and receivers can "play catch" together without the coaches watching. If Kelce is able to run, cut, and catch than Alex Smith will let them know. If Kelce is recovered than the team has him along with Fasano, McGrath, and a developmental guy in Demetrius Harris. Under that scenario I would be comfortable bringing in a developmental guy like Blake Annen or Colt Lyerla along.

On the otherhand, if Kelce cant recover from microfracture surgery, than TE becomes a big need.
