4.06 Pittsburgh BIG PAPAS - TE Dawson Knox

Knox was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in Round 3.  He's a converted QB who is still learning the position (particularly blocking). He didn’t get to produce much at Ole Miss, either, because his teammates included D.K. Metcalf (Seahawks), A.J. Brown (Titans) and DaMarkus Lodge (Bucs). But the few times he did catch the ball, it went a long way (18 yards per reception). He showed speed by running a 4.58 40-yard dash at his Pro Day. The Bills signed Tyler Kroft (Bengals) this past offseason to a 3-year contract, but what if he doesn’t recover from offseason foot surgery and Knox catches on sooner than expected? In that event, the Bills could get out of the Kroft contract without much in the way of salary cap headaches. TE depth was also on the BIG PAPAS' shopping list—they have TE Mike Gesicki, their second-round pick from last year, but he didn’t get used much last year (202 receiving yards), and they had to pick C.J. Uzomah off the scrap heap. I give credit to Pitt for going for Knox’s upside.
