2003 Rookie Draft Class

Tight Ends
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Dallas Clark
Iowa
4438506370
5044506910
3831505620
Outlook: Clark is an elite pass-catching tight end who doesn't quite have the size to be a premier blocker. He can stretch the field and provide matchup nightmares for opposing defensive coordinators.
Tecmo comparison: Steve Jordan
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Bennie Joppru
Michigan
2556502590
3850633810
Outlook: Joppru was an elite tight end in college but will struggle to adapt to the pro game. At least he's a decent blocker. There are some scouts who hold on to high hopes for Joppru, but don't expect to see him drafted until the 5th round.
Tecmo comparison: James Thornton
Name
MSHPBCREC%
L.J. Smith
Rutgers
3850505070
4456505610
3144504420
Outlook: L.J. Smith possesses good size and average skill for a tight end. He won't be a game-changing kind of player but could be serviceable patrolling the middle of the field.
Tecmo comparison: Keith McKeller
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Teyo Johnson
Stanford
3156502580
3863503110
2550501910
Outlook: Johnson isn't too good. He can block, but has butterfingers when it comes to holding on to the football. He'll be lucky to hear his name on draft day.
Tecmo comparison: Pete Metzelaars
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Jason Witten
Tennessee
5063696370
5669756910
4456635620
Outlook: Witten is an elite tight end in every conceivable way. He should be near the top of several teams' draft boards.
Tecmo comparison: Brent Jones
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Mike Seidman
UCLA
3144502580
3850503110
2538501910
Outlook: Seidman lacks the fundamentals and the skills necessary for success at the pro level. He will probably go undrafted.
Tecmo comparison: Orson Mobley
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Visanthe Shiancoe
Morgan State
3150505070
3856505615
2544504415
Outlook: Shiancoe is a small school project who could end up a late bloomer of sorts. He's a little slower than you'd like to see a tight end, but blocks reasonably well and has good hands. With the proper training he could be a keeper.
Tecmo comparison: Eric Green
Name
MSHPBCREC%
George Wrighster
Oregon
3144504470
3850505010
2538503820
Outlook: If you look up "average tight end" in the dictionary, you see the mug of George Wrighster.
Tecmo comparison: Mike Mularkey
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Donald Lee
Mississippi State
3838504470
4444505020
3131503810
Outlook: If Lee achieves his upside, he could end up being one of the steals of this year's draft.
Tecmo comparison: Ozzie Newsome
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Aaron Walker
Florida
2550502570
3156503110
1944501920
Outlook: Walker is a blocker first and foremost, but isn't good enough at that skill to make a WTF roster.
Tecmo comparison: Mike Dyal
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Richard Angulo
Western New Mexico
1956502570
2563503110
1950501920
Outlook: Angulo is one of the better blocking tight ends in this draft, but is unfortunately a liability in just about every other way.
Tecmo comparison: Cap Boso
Name
MSHPBCREC%
Antonio Gates
Kent State
5650635655
6356696310
5044565010
4419504425
Outlook: Gates possesses immense raw talent and should develop nicely as time goes on. However, it should be noted that Gates is a converted basketball player and is new to the game of football, and may have a hard time learning blocking schemes and route-running techniques. Gates may possess some risk, but his upside is truly enormous.
Tecmo comparison: Marv Cook
