Round 3: Dayton TE Adam Trautman

I know there are a lot of people out there that think Trautman could be the top tight end in the class. And before you criticize where I have him on this list, remember that Travis Kelce was also drafted in the third round.

Like Kelce, Trautman started out as a quarterback in college but ended up playing tight end. As it turns out, Trautman is just an average athlete for the position as demonstrated by his performance at the combine. His best drill was the 3-cone where he tested in the 96th percentile at 6.78 seconds.

Where Trautman makes his money is in the one-on-one matchups as both a blocker and a receiver. He is an extremely nuanced route runner with great hands. He also shows a competitive edge in the blocking game looking to pancake defenders from an in-line position. For that reason, I really like his fit in Kansas City. He seems tailor-made for their 12 personnel packages.
