Based on the articles and projections I've read, including recent ones, LINK he is definitely favored to be the first TE selected in the draft.

It is unclear whether he'll be drafted in the first round although he should be a lock to be at least a second round pick and whether he's first or second will likely hinge on the particular team's need.

Gotcha. Probably can't do 21.

His hands are the best around. He went this whole last season with zero drops, zero.

He dropped a pass against Mizzou on our second play of our first drive. Not sure why the media overlooks that one.

Still an insanely good season even if he did have that one drop. Especially when you consider some of the catches he made. I think that's where we'll see the biggest drop off with Sprinkle.

Green Bay - Just signed Cook 1yr-4M, still could make sense.
Oakland - makes sense
Jacksonville - 5yr-46M to Thomas just last year.
Indy - Just gave Allen 4yr-30M

Thomas stays injured
Indy runs a lot of 2 TE sets because they can't block

The good news is that I am fairly certain HH isn't into Purple Drank.

Please not Oakland. As a Broncos fan, I really don't want to see another one of our players waste their talent with the Raiders.

I don't disagree with this, but no way JAX invests an early round pick on another TE after paying Thomas over 9M a year. Same goes with Indy. They didn't keep Fleener because they didn't want to pay that much for a 2nd TE. No way they pay almost as much and invest a high draft pick for a 2nd TE.

Like I mentioned earlier Houston is in need of a TE. They let released Graham and CJ has been a bust 2 years running (3rd round pick).

The Raiders are coming up and are actually being run like an honest-to-God NFL team now.

Henry can be hot shite in whatever town he ends up in because of his skills and looks. He is going to have it made.

Maybe you're right, but it's hard to purge oneself of that feeling about Oakland. They've been dysfunctional for so long. HH is a really good kid and would like him to play in a market and time zone that affords me the opportunity to see him play.

Does any game time preclude you from seeing anyone play in the NFL?

It wouldn't bother me at all if Houston took him in the late 1st. He could be a legit 2 option behind Hopkins and despite what an earlier poster posted, he does have run blocking skills. Maybe he was referencing pass blocking bc every scout I've heard on the radio has been impressed about him being a complete TE.

Houston hasn't been good at TE since Daniels.

They have one of the best young offenses in the league. If they can get some linemen to run block they will be deadly.

Falcons have their fingers crossed he'll last to pick #50. I hope they give up a 3rd-4th pick if they have to trade up to get him earlier in the 2nd round. Gonna be a Tony Gonzales type of TE IMO...

Sprinkle might be better.. More overall upside at least.

And that's saying A LOT about HH. He's a baller.
