    If we aren't looking for a deep threat TE then we'll prob stick with RichRod.

    Massachusetts tight end Jean Sifrin is another who has not taken a normal route to the combine.

    Sifrin -- who was born in the Bahamas -- is 27 years old. He played basketball and football at powerhouse Miami Norland -- other former Norland players in this draft include Miami tailback Duke Johnson and UM offensive tackle Ereck Flowers, and Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown is another ex-Norland player - but dropped out in 2005, his senior year, to work.

    He eventually received his GED and decided he wanted to give college a try. He attended two junior colleges, one in New York and one in California; UMass found him at El Camino CC in California, where he played the 2013 season.

    Sifrin had 42 receptions for 642 yards (15.3 yards per catch) and six TDs this past season at UMass; he then decided to enter the draft a year early.

    He was listed at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds by UMass, and for a guy that big, he moves well and is surprisingly agile. While raw, he has good hands and put up solid stats in UMass' pass-happy offense (the Minutemen coach is former NFL assistant Mark Whipple).

    The above is from an article on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...lines-to-watch

    Somewhere else I read that he runs a 4.6 40 yard dash, which is pretty good for a 6-7, 250 pound guy. That one catch in the end zone is pretty sweet. He is 27, though.
    I wonder if his age will keep him from being drafted high...

    Raw and 27 years of age might be an issue for any team drafting him high but where is he projected to go in the Draft Pugger?

    Seventy-nine years ago Sunday, the NFL held its first draft

    Posted by Mike Wilkening on February 8, 2015, 6:35 PM EST

    Comment woodbuck27:

    The obvious questions came to my mind.

    Who was the first player drafted into the NFL? How successful was this man in his NFL career?

    I have no clue. We'll have to watch his performance in the combine next week.

    I feel a trade back is in order. A team might be willing to move up just a few spots to get that 5th year on the rookie contract by selecting in the late first instead of early 2nd. I like a lot of guys, but all of the no-brainer guys will most likely be taken before 30. Trading back would leave us with two seconds, a third, two fourths, and as many as three fifths.

    In the 2014 Draft TT didn't trade up or down and that's a departure from what we have grown accustomed to seeing. Last season we also saw TT draft in round 1 for need. That's a departure from his normal style of drafting the BPA.

    I see opportunities where TT trading down could work for him as you suggest in Rounds 2 and 3.

    The one position I'm somewhat concerned for now is DT. How he proceeds in the Off Season and addresses the DT position before the Draft will have an impact on his drafting strategy.

    I disagree. I see no departure from his normal drafting procedure. I think HHCD at #21 was likely the BPA on his board. Many thought he would be drafted earlier than that. Sometimes fortune smiles on you and the BPA is also at a position of need. I think that's what happened here.

    It was definitely good luck. Most mocks had him gone 10 picks ahead of our draft position. If you ran the draft again right now, we wouldn't even stand a chance.

    Thanks, Jets!

    Looking at this again I agree with you.

    Ha Ha Clinton Dix was mocked to go earlier than TT's pick. The stars simply aligned and Dix was the perfect choice for TT and the Green Bay Packers.

    Ref: drafttec.com

    http://www.drafttek.com/2015-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round1.asp

    I'm guessing that your thinking that Bryan Bulaga won't be retained; therefore draft TJ Clemmings as a replacement?

    As per the Drafttec.com current mock:

    TT could trade out of Round 1 and pick TJ Clemmings in the top of Round 2.

    Drafttec possibly has 6' - 6" and 334 lb ... DT Jordan Phillips or... 6'- 2" - 232 lb ILB Ramik Wilson available for TT and his late 2nd Rd. pick.

    Note ... and in comparison, NFLDRFTSCOUTS.Com has:

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...kings/2015/all

    LT TJ Clemmings established presently @ NO. 14

    DT Jordan Phillips @ NO. 23

    ILB Ranik Wilson @ NO. 113.

    I'd be happy with Phillips and Clemmings as our first two picks, if we could get Ramik Wilson later.

    2 - DEVIN FUNCHESS, MICHIGAN
    3 - QUINTEN ROLLINS, MIAMI (OHIO)
    3 - TY SAMBRAILO, COLORADO STATE
    3 - RAMIK WILSON, GEORGIA
    5 - TYLER KROFT, RUTGERS
    5 - JOSH HARPER, FRESNO STATE
    6 - TAIWAN JONES, MICHIGAN STATE
    6 - JORDAN RICHARDS, STANFORD
    6 - JOEY MBU, HOUSTON
    6 - NICK BOYLE, DELAWARE
    7 - JALSTON FOWLER, ALABAMA
    7 - CRAIG MAGER, TEXAS STATE

    Tons of trades in this version. Wasn't able to get Clemmings or Phillips, but I'm happy with the haul. Three tight ends, two corners, two inside linebackers, a safety, a fullback, a nose tackle, an offensive tackle, and one receiver for good measure. We know TT is taking one receiver.

    I'm not sure how likely it would be for Rollins to fall into the early third, but he is a bit raw, so it's possible.
