BALLER MOVE: Draft In Later Rounds
CURRENT ADP: Overall #136/ TE #26
ANALYSIS: Austin Sefarian-Jenkins has an even lower ADP than someone like Kyle Rudolph, but he has just as good of a chance to make an impact in 2015. Entering his sophomore season in the NFL, ASJ looks to be more of a cog in the Buccaneers’ offense than he was in 2014. After scoring just two touchdowns on 21 receptions in the first nine weeks, injuries to his back and ankle led to the IR. Sefarian-Jenkins claimed that the back felt great this offseason, and he’s already drawing very positive comments from his coaches and scouts.
It might be a bit of a reach to pick a young tight end in an unproven offense, but the acquisition of Jameis Winston should only help the stock of ASJ. His combination of size and speed were what made him a hot commodity on draft day in 2014, and the Bucs will look to get Sefarian-Jenkins into an important role in hopes that he develops into a top tight end. As another high-upside pick, it certainly makes sense to draft both Sefarian-Jenkins and another high upside guy like Rudolph (as long as your league’s bench space allows it) in hopes that one of the two breaks into the top 12 group of tight ends
