Historical Player Information
 
Strengths
Takes run-blocking duties to heart
Good angles up to second level and squares his target
Finds his block fit and sustains with balance and footwork
Counted on to help seal the edge in run game
Basketball feel and fluidity in his route breaks
Stems defenders out of place with sharp head fakes
Monitors safeties and surveys spacing against zone
Races to soft spots and demands the football
Catches what is thrown at him and rarely has focus drop

Weaknesses
Inconsistent hand placement at point of attack
Gets grabby outside of the frame to finish
Needs better pad level to create point of leverage
May not have speed to consistently threaten the seam
Has a little too much sauce in his routes
Could struggle to separate against NFL man coverage
Rigid in his body adjustments to throws outside the frame
Lacks creativity after the catch and tends to bull forward
 
How NFL.com talks him up he could be a FB more then a TE
 
Defending Love was easy compared to this. Liked Dillon, just not in the 2nd. I got nuthin' on our 3rd rounder.
DejaVu to when they drafted Richard Rodgers, seemed to come out of the blue. Ouch.
 
Maybe closer to Quarless than RR.

High floor. Solid blocker. Matt values that. Important to the offense. Another guy who will need a redshirt season.
 
I think he was drafted as a blocking tight end, who can catch the ball if you get it to him, when he happens to get open. I was wondering if we were going to look at TE before the draft, but didn't think they'd invest in someone until real late. There were so many needs out there, and at this point, this is another pick that quite frankly does not help plug any holes that seem to be out there.

Oh well! Might as well enjoy the ride.
 
He’s going to be an H-Back/FB. He will be GB’s version of SF’s Kyle Jusczyk.
He’s a good blocker in space/on the move and will be a sneaky receiving option.

drafting him and Dillion marks a monumental shift in offensive philosophy going forward.

prediction: Packers will not draft a WR
 
I mocked Deguara, but in Rd 6. There just wasn't anything really special about him. Not fast, but not slow. Not real tall. Not a real big catch radius. Can block but even if he was a great blocker, that alone usually wouldn't get you drafted in Rd 3. Seemed like a nice depth guy. Just doesn't seem like a great use of a Rd 3 pick. Hope I'm really wrong.

nfl.com had him rated as a sixth round pick. he was #210 on drafttek's big board. wlter football had him slotted in rounds 5-7. i could go on, but you get the point. a ridiculous waste of a third round pick.

gute is an idiot.
