Who's coming out early?

Travis Beckum, TE, Wisconsin
6-4, 228, 4.55
The undersized tight end made a wise decision to return to school. Beckum could easily become the first tight end taken in the 2009 draft by improving bulk and strength.

Beckum doesn't have much of a chance of being a TE at the next level IMO...unless improving bulk means packing on 30 pounds in one year.

He's a WR in the NFL.

I was thinking that a team like Indy or the Pats would love this cat because he can block a little but because he can run and catch justs about anything thrown his way. He also runs some pretty nice routes and will cause matchup problems for a lot of teams.

If you want to cause matchup problems, line up your #4 WR at TE.

It would be the same as sticking Beckum there.

We're talking draft already?

We're in the playoffs this year. Save the draft talk 'til after the Super Bowl.

Besides, we have the 29th pick. It's basically a crapshoot at that spot.

Actually you would use him in the base package as a tight end.
