As a Blocker, Andre Smith is a solid Croucher, and has both enough Power to Drive in the Run Game and Strength to Anchor against the Pass Rush. His Mechanics need work, though. And his Launch Speed is bad.
As a Receiver, he's surprisingly instinctive and nearly gracefull, though hardly excessively so.
All in all, Andre Smith needs some work, but as a classic Tight End ~ a guy who Blocks vociferously and makes the occasional catch ~ he should make an excellent Reserve, initially, and, before long, compete for playing time.
Win!!

Charlie Gantt is an outstanding Blocker: Great Croucher, Power to Drive the Run, Strength to Anchor against the Pass Rush, and Lateral Agility to Mirror.
He's a bit of a slug as a Receiver, but has enough savvy and cerebrality to work his way free when he needs to.
Charlie Gantt flies quietly Under the Radar, but I believe it is precisely the efforts of Scrappers like Charlie Gantt ~ who bang out solid Blocks 80% of the time, but have enough receiving capacity to keep Defenses honest ~ who Move The Chains.
His numbers will never be noteworthy...But he will be a Difference Maker.
Sleeper.

Lee Smith is a NASTY Blocker: He's a natural Croucher who exhibits excellent Power to Drive the Run Game + Strength to Anchor against the Pass Rush.
As a Receiver, he's a bit brutal, but is clever enough to Work the Field.
In a Game where those who can Block with Ferocity and Precision ~ as Lee Smith clearly can ~ and still provide enough of a Pass Catching possibility ~ I won't say "Threat" ~ to keep D's honest, Lee Smith has a tremendous chance to get absolutely no appreciation...while proving to be utterly vital to his team's efforts to Move The Chains in the years to come.
Sleeper!!

Will Yeatman, in my view, has more UpSide than any Classical ~ 90% Blocking/10% Receiving ~ Tight End in this CLASS. He is raw as hell, but he is the prototypical size for the job, and he commands ASTONISHING athleticism.
Will Yeatman is a ferocious Blocker who commands great natural dexterity ~ honed through years in LaCrosse!! ~ and who has only TASTED his incipient Navigational Liquidity in running the Route Tree.
SUPER Sleeper.
