Here’s what Mocking the Draft had to say about Fleener prior to the draft:
Final word: Throughout the offsesaon process, Fleener has become everyone’s favorite tight end. He’s got impressive size, great straight-line speed. His strengths are evident. But Fleener is more of a receiving tight end than anything else. He’s a little behind as a blocker and not overly elusive after the catch. Fleener is probably be the first tight end drafted, but he’ll need to be put in the right situation to be fully utilized.
The Colts selected Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in the draft.
