Dynasty Summary: .He constantly stayed on the field with Arkansas due to his ability to block in both running and passing situations. Add his blocking ability with incredibly soft hands and solid routes, and you have a total tight end package. Hunter Henry looks capable of nearly everything asked of an NFL tight end. He’s also spent his whole career there. He isn’t one of those college quarterbacks or half-backs that tried to transition to raise their draft stock, nor is he a converted basketball player ala Antonio Gates. He played the position from high school on, and his experience at tight end shows. Perhaps the issue that we’ve had with tight ends of late in dynasty is that we’re drafting the wrong types. Too much focus on metrics and freakish athletes may have led us astray. Perhaps it’s better to focus on more well-rounded prospects like Hunter Henry.
Rotoworld: 48. Where He Wins: As of now, a true role player as a receiving tight end. If a target is in his catch radius, Henry will bring it in. Will not be a complete tight end, there are very few in the NFL, but Henry needs to be at least willing and adequate as a blocker in order to stay on the field. Has been used from practically every alignment.
Charles Davis: "The best tight end in this year's class, Henry has a chance to go in the first round to a TE-needy team. He has good hands, runs routes well and keeps improving as a blocker." --
