Gavin Escobar TE San Diego State

[Al Bundy]

Not sure what to think about this kid yet. But I liked what I saw when he went against UNLV.

Would love to have him if we don't get Martellus in FA. Reminds me a lot of Antonio gates.

[Detrimental]

He is a damn good option in round 3.

[The Anti-Java]

I am still holding out hope we get the other Bennett bro.

[ComeOnMan]

Not a big fan after watching the first 2 min.  How are you going to block NFL players if you cant block BSU? 

[blind melon]

He's a pass catching fool and not afraid of the middle.   Happily have this guy in the 3rd/4th round.

But I want Bennett too.

[mgchat76]

He'd be a good option as a #2 TE, but isn't well rounded enough to be our primary TE.

Unlv's defense made everyone look good. He's a good receiver but not a good enough blocker imo

[BucNY]

Agreed.

Escobar has been in my mock for a while. i like ertz a ton as well but id rather go a different route in the 2nd. escobar can be had in the 3rd or 4th. he also showed up impressively at the combine weigh in. 6'5 260 is really good size for a TE and will give him good blocking size as well as his pass catching

measured in at 6' 5" 7/8,  254 and 33 5/8 inch arms.

Bigger than Kelce, Sims, Reed, Eifert and Ertz.

i know a lot of guys like gavin escobar, and it was just mentioned we met with him.  but why do you guys believe he will be any better than stocker?  what does he do differently, better?

I won't pretend to be an expert on Escobar and I did like Stocker as a prospect, but at the very least Escobar has been tremendously more productive in the red zone. He has 17 TD's in three years where Stocker had 8 TD's in four years.

Saw a tweet in the FA thread that the Bucs were seen having lunch with Gavin.

Nioce.

[GameTime]

thanks.  i certainly wouldnt mind the pick, heard a lot of good things.  but his measurables are nothing special, so was just curious.

ive been all over the board with the TE's.  would like one of them, but not expecting one.  kelce has the bloodlines, escobar is up there for a reason.  but i might be leaning back towards sims.  known as the best blocker in the group but also is just athletic as most of them.  he does have injury and maturity questions, but he should be available later.
