Draft Wire has released several individual scouting reports over the past week, including six tight ends that Atlanta could have interest in with Austin Hooper potentially out.

Cole Kmet — Notre Dame

Size: 6-foot-6, 262 lbs

Strengths:

“One of the best aspects of his game is that Kmet can create separation at the second level. While he can bring down contested throws, he provides his passer a good target. A linebacker will have trouble keeping up with Kmet, and they will struggle with his physicality at times. Very much a bowling ball as he will crash into defenders when running after the catch.”

Weaknesses:

“Pass blocking is suspect at best. Not where he will win early on in his career, will need a lot of work on technique. As well as understanding of where he needs to get in his block fits. He will need on getting stronger and holding his blocks in the pass game. However, Kmet needs to be running routes on passing downs instead of staying in to protect his quarterback.”
