Hybrid fullback/tight ends/H-backs are underappreciated players in today's NFL offenses. A guy who can pick up blitzes, chip on defensive ends, cancel linebackers at the second level and move the chains (46 receptions, 394 yards, four touchdowns in '07) in the passing game is very valuable. Fine has the ability to be just that type of player, and will likely be selected earlier than most expect. He should also be a contributor on special teams coverage units as he did at Kansas.

Positives: Expected size for "moving" tight end/fullback … Excellent effort and upper body flexibility to block defensive ends or linebackers on the run … Very good receiver who runs precise routes and does not drop many balls … Reliable, tough, hard-working character guy … Good effort and open-field tackling ability on special teams.

Negatives: Not a true in-line blocking tight end because of a lack of size and strength (upper and lower body) … Tough time getting off the line when threatened by linebackers … Does not possess great speed to threaten the seam in the Cover-2 … Needs to fit in a very specific type of offense.
