TDN is kind of all over the place. Their individual evaluations are fine but their overall rankings are kind of random and often slow to be updated.

To be fair, my "1st round talk" was not me saying I expected it, but if you look at the context of the statement, I commented on how I've read some talk of that. The second part of that was he would have to continue to do things to make himself rise, and then the third part where I mentioned the Patriots were a team I wouldn't be surprised to take him -- So to further clarify on that part, I said this because the Patriots have been known to sometimes reach a little for a guy they really want (recall they took Ben Watson in the 1st round, and he was also more projected as a 2nd rounder).

He's got a ways to go to make it into consideration there and FWIW, I certainly don't think he's there right now. I think he's a very good prospect, but 2nd round seems the most plausible area for him right now.

That's all fair. IMO I think their are at this point a couple TEs ranked over him BUT like you said it only takes one team.

Not that I think Trautman would fall, but I would not be surprised if the Niners find themselves staring at a quality TE prospect that falls to the mid rounds or so again, like Kittle.

Harrison Bryant had a week in mobile as well. He was the John Mackey Award winner this yr. He's someone to checkout as well.

Gut feeling tells me the 49ers may be looking for a blocking TE. I know we reportedly checked out Dominick Wood-Anderson from Tennessee. If we're looking for a project late rounder, perhaps Armani Levias would be on the radar. He blocks well, isn't super fast, but seems to have pretty quick feet for a big man. From what little I've seen, sure seems to be a guy that can't be tackled by one guy. Levias put up 46 catches for 553 yards in 13 games this year.

What's his draft range?

Impressive, but let's not forget Blake Bell -- the TE Baalke drafted many years ago -- ran a 6.85 three cone and never became anything more than a backup. Although he was nowhere near the prospect Trautman is so...

Personally I don't think he goes until day 3, 4th-5th round range. This TE class is not great though so he could go sooner.
