TE/FB? Jacob Pedersen, Wisconsin -- I fear that Pederson is going to be unfairly cast as an H-back, since (a.) he played that role in Wisconsin's run-heavy offense, and (b.) he looks the part at 6'3", 242 lbs. But I think the best part of his game are the routes he runs when he lines up either out wide or inline with the OL. He is a really underrated athlete -- he can get downfield in a hurry and has great hands. He's a good route-runner, and I think he might have 4.5 speed -- though obviously the Combine will confirm that. I think a pass-heavy offense should bring him on as a receiving TE, like a poor man's Jimmy Graham. The biggest hole in his game, sadly, is his blocking, which makes sense considering his smaller size. Perhaps some coaching will tune up his technique. Midround pick.
