As decided upon and compiled by Hardnosed, FC and Iron_City, here is the third installment in our draft series.

Fred Davis - USC - 6025 - 250 - 3302 - 904

Bio: Was originally recruited to USC as a wide receiver. He bulked up to play TE not because he really had room to get bigger, but simply because he wasn't fast enough. Wasn't allowed to travel to the Orange Bowl in 2005 because of repeated violations of team rules. Got his act together in 2006, and had very solid seasons as a Junior and Senior.

Outlook: He arrived at USC as a 5 star WR prospect before bulking up to play TE. He's struggled to get movement but has shown to be a very willing blocker and could thrive in a west coast system and may be the only TE to crack the first round by ending up going to the Seattle Seahawks at pick #25 NFL Comparison: Tony Gonzalez

Positives: Very skilled Tight end. Runs clean sharp routes. Very good hands...Davis is a Threat after the catch. Reminds me of Tony Gonzales of the Chiefs.

Negatives: Davis is not a great blocker...Its a stretch to say Davis is a willing blocker. Davis is a blown up Wr playing TE...He doesnt have a huge body or great timed speed.

Marcellus Bennett - Texas A & M - 6070 - 253

Bio: Was a top ten recruit coming out of high school, and also played basketball for Texas A & M as a freshman and sophomore. At 6'7", he averaged 23 points and 9 boards a game as a senior in high school. Was a Mackey Award finalist as a junior.

Outlook: Exceptional hands and route running ability will allow him to work linebackers up the seam and crossing patterns and could be a nice addition clearing the middle of the field for Steve Smith in Carolina in round 3. NFL Comparison: Marcedes Lewis

Positives: Very long lean target with very long arms. He must add at least 10 pounds before he can be an every down NFL Tight End. He is pure upside...Great route runner...Super athleticism...Great Hands..He will time well. Bennett blocking is better then expected.

Negatives: Bennett is a 6-6 235 pound Tight End...He wont block anyone in the NFl at that size...He must get bigger or run fast enough to play Wr.

John Carlson - Notre Dame - 6060 - 259

Bio: Another dual sport athlete, he played for the Fighting Irish basketball team as a freshman. Was also an all-conference tennis player in high school. Started 28 games at Notre Dame during his college career and was an Academic All-American.

Outlook: A quality athelte whose production suffered in a poor Notre Dame system. He brings his lunchpail to work daily and his size could make him a nice red zone target for a team like the Cincinnatti Bengals in round 3. NFL Comparison: Heath Miller

Positives: Classic Tight End...He does nothing great...He is a quality receiver and blocker...He is a blue collar dependable player.

Negatives: Combine will make or break Carlson. Carlson may not be a NFL athlete..He compares favorably to Anthony Fasano of the Cowboys.

Jermichael Finley - 6050 - 240

Bio: Came to Texas as a 220 pound WR/TE hybrid but is leaving as a 245 pounder who has shown some toughness in the running game. Was also a standout basketball player in high school. Was a productive starter his final two seasons at Texas.

Outlook: A tireless worker with a very high ceiling and a very good red zone threat. Explodes in and out of his breaks and is a mismatch for LB's. But like most of the rest of his TE class, is limited in the run game but could emerge as a threat on day 2 to a team like the New Orleans Saints. NFL Comparison: Todd Heap

Positives: Finley is a tall athletic target with great speed. Finley is a tireless worker and could easily be the best TE in this class...He is a huge mismatch in the passing game.

Negatives: Finley needs to add some weight to play every down in the NFl.

Martin Rucker - Missouri - 6046 - 248 - 3401 - 900

Bio: Is the younger brother of longtime Panthers DE Mike Rucker. His father is a member of the Missouri House of Representatives. A three year starter and a first team All American as a senior. Like seemingly every TE prospect, he was a star basketball player in high school.

Outlook: A nice receiving threat that was very productive in college setting a school record with 84 catches. Has shown to be limited in route running and body control but could emerge as a quality TE2 in a vertical passing offense but wont be selected until day 2 to a team like the Detroit Lions NFL Comparison: Jeremy Stevens

Positives: Another classic Tight End...Rucker is a quality receiver he runs quality routes...Has dependable hands.

Negatives: Rucker is not a polished blocker...He needs alot of work...He is NFL ready in the passing game.

Kellen Davis - Michigan State - 6062 - 259 - 3302 - 900

Bio: Also played defensive end for the Spartans as a senior, helping to replace Jonal Saint-Dic when he was suspended for the Champs Sports Bowl. Was suspended because of aggravated assault allegations as a junior.

Outlook: A good looking athlete that definately passes the eyeball test with big hands and good ups. Under utilized playing inside Devin Thomas but emerged as a good run blocker in a rush offense that produced almost 200 yds/game. Very raw and may need sit and learn his craft for a year but will be a nice day 2 project for a team like the Tennessee Titans NFL Comparison: Kellen Winslow

Positives: Huge athlete...Is a far better blocker then most expect. He will test off the charts at the combine. He has NFL ability and potential.

Negatives: Davis is a one year wonder...He was awful as a JR. Davis could be a decent college player who becomes a great NFL pro.

Brad Cottam - Tennessee - 6075 - 271 - 3400 - 904

Bio: After sitting early in his career, made 6 starts as a junior and only 5 as a senior after breaking his wrist. Also was a standout high school basketball player. Academic All-American. When it comes right down to it, Cottam only caught 21 passes during his college career.

Outlook: A big lumbering TE that is like having a 3rd tackle on the field. Can be dominating in a run first system that can also sneak to the corner in the red zone after releasing from a block. Could be a late round steal to a power run team like the Jacksonville Jaguars late on day 2 NFL Comparison: Matt Spaeth

Positives: The big ugly of the bunch. Best run blocking Tight end I have seen since Jason Peters played at Arkansas. He can get movement on Defensive ends in the run game. Cottam has quality hands.

Negatives: He is not the best route runner and not a huge threat in the passing game...He is slow and plodding.
