1. DALLAS GOEDERT, TE – SOUTH DAKOTA STATE

South Dakota State Athletics[/credit]
EARLY 2018 PROJECTION: No. 3 TE, projected 3rd rounder
2016 STATS: An eye-popping 92 receptions for 1,293 yards and 11 TDs, while adding another rushing touchdown.
Goedert may be 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, but he moves and catches the ball like a guy who is much, much smaller. That's what makes him an absolute lock for the NFL Draft next spring. While he was certainly productive as a sophomore in 2015, this past year he became a human highlight reel — catching one-handed passes and lighting up defenses with his pass catching partner in crime, Jake Wieneke.
