Position fit:
Tight end
Stat to know:
Fourth-highest receiving grade of any tight end in the class.
What he does best:
• Two straight years of production at Buffalo. Made a number of catches with defenders draped all over him.
• Solid balance after the catch. Not going to go down on first contact. 16 broken tackles on 78 catches over the past two seasons.
Biggest concern:
• Slow, slow, slow. No speed to separate past linebackers. Underneath guy.
• Body control is iffy. Very rigid in his routes. Can get stuck on a good jam.
• Little burst in and out of breaks. Needs to learn to use his leverage.
Bottom line:
Weiser is a developmental prospect who has to improve on his routes to hack it in the league. His abilities at the catch point make him valuable towards the end of the draft.
