Just a redshirt soph, still debating the draft, but I think this guy can be a force in the NFL.
"In two seasons, he has caught 81 passes and 13 touchdowns. That's impressive numbers for a tight end, specifically in Virginia Tech's traditionally inferior offense.
At 6'7", 241 pounds, Hodges has remarkable size. In addition to his basketball-player frame, he also runs a wide receiver-like 4.46 40-yard dash. ".

I like Hodges, Engram (Ole Miss), and Howard (Bama). We need to grab one of these big, athletic guys this year. I love all three of these guys' potential. They're a little raw, but great athletes.

Engram is essentially another WR. His hands are better than most guys coming out. I think he'll be a solid pro.

Draft Advisory board reportedly told him to stay at VA Tech for another year.

They're always conservative. I don't think they tell a single prospect he would be a first round pick. Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose if they told a guy he'd be a top pick and he ended up being drafted in the fourth round or so, they probably could be sued for loss of income or something.

Not really. Doesn't look like a Morlock.

Evan Engram isn't big. Tiny for a TE at 6'3", 227.

I know. That's why I said he was essentially another WR. He's a better pure receiver than the rest of the TE group and its not even close. This guy does the OBJ one-handed warm-ups.
Hes a little smaller than Busta Anderson and much more accomplished as a receiver. I could see him going to NE, NO, or another pass-heavy system.

I wouldn't say he's a better pure receiver. Both Hodges and Henry had more catches, and they are bigger and younger than Engram. Pretty sure the other guys go before him in the draft if they declare. TE class is really deep in this draft, there are going to be studs going on the second and third day of the draft.
