"I think it's an instinct position he's got as good instincts as anybody in the draft at that spot. I don't think he's going to win any awards in the run game the effort is there. There's enough want-to that you can work with him." Jeremiah projects McLachlan as a third- or fourth-round pick but admits he might not be the first Canadian tight end drafted. Penn State's Theo Johnson, a six-foot-six, 260-pound player from Windsor, Ont., could be the second tight end selected after Georgia's Brock Bowers.

Johnson appeared in 45 games over four seasons at Penn State, recording 77 catches for 938 yards and 12 TDs. He was a '23 honourable mention All-Big Ten selection. Jeremiah sees both Adams, who began his collegiate career at Wilfrid Laurier, and Dankwah as third-day selections. Stiggers participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl on Feb. 1. Then, 29 NFL teams attended his pro day and the 22-year-old didn't disappoint, posting a 40-yard dash time of 4.47 seconds, 36.5-inch vertical jump, 10-foot eight-inch broad jump and 4.25-second short shuttle.
