I just read that Metcalf got cleared for his neck injury.  He's battled a lot of injuries.

If he's healthy, he would instantly give the Jaguars something they haven't had in a while-a big bodied receiver who can catch the intermediate pass who can also get deep.

I've seen Hockenson and Fant, but I need to see more of them. I know they used Hockenson as the in line TE (the traditional Y) and Fant as the move TE in many situations.  I would still like to see more.  I'd like to see some accurate, official heights and weights for them.  I've seen some on the internet where they are both basically the same guy (6'5, 232 or so), but I don't trust those measurements.  If I assume they are true, I would think they have to put on some weight.  The clips I've seen, these guys have gotten a lot of clean releases in their routes.  I'd like to see them get past a big, physical Sam or SS to get off the LOS.  That said, once these guys get into their routes, they are amazing.  Both get separation in their routes.  Fant has the ability to run away from defenses.  Hockenson gets deep separation too, but also does well in jump ball/contested catches.    

Like last year, even though I think TE is a need, I don't see them taking a TE early, unless our new OC has more input in the draft selection., especially since this is supposedly a deep TE draft.  TC's TE paradigm is a big, inline TE that can block and catch.  I'm not sure either guy fits, even though based on what I've seen, both are good prospects.
