How is that possible.  Davis is a blocking tight end.  Leggett cant block at all.  They couldnt be more opposite, other than maybe similar size.

More accurately, Leggett won't block at all.  Either he gets his sh*t together, or he does not make it out f training camp.  Work ethic, not physical ability, is the issue with him -- lazy players tend not to stick around.

From rotoworld

 

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein comps Clemson TE Jordan Leggett to Kellen Davis.
The 6-foot-5, 258-pounder had 46 receptions for 736 yards and seven touchdowns for the national champs last season. His receiving chops are strong, and he compliments them with a great size/speed combination, but Leggett is a disinterested blocker. "Has elite size for the position, but his motor and effort leave a lot to be desired," Zierlein wrote. "Despite his size, might not have the attitude necessary to be an in-line blocker on the NFL level. Tape shows a route-runner who could struggle to uncover against quality man coverage." As for Pro Football Focus, they liken Leggett to Green Bay Packers TE Richard Rodgers, writing: "Short of playing a one-dimensional receiving role, any chance of Jordan’s chances of a prolonged NFL career depend entirely around revamping his overall blocking technique." Apr 23 - 12:47 PM

Translation: soft, lazy. Sounds like the Jonathan Martin of TEs

Walter football liked the pick

jetsb_logo.gif New York Jets: Chad Hansen, WR, California:  A- Grade  
I thought Chad Hansen could potentially be chosen in the third round, so I like this value, and Hansen obviously fills a need with Brandon Marshall gone. Hansen was a productive receiver at California who made acrobatic catches, but his speed is a major question mark.

Combine speed is one of the biggest factors in WR success. True story

I still want KD Cannon, the next Antonio Brown.

Cannon's worst year beats Ardarius Stewart's best year. What gives?

Hansen is from a small farm town north of LA where we buy large trees. Hope he's a decent pick.

Maybe he use to chop those trees by hand with a single, bare ax.

The next Darren Sproles. 

Yes I saw his highlights. Very quick like a jack rabbit but lacks elite speed. Love his ability to read blocks and is a very patient runner. Been longing for a Sproles type back for the longest. Logan from NC fits the bill also. Brian Hill is also a nice possibility, strong and fast. We gotta get a RB in this draft just have to.

He has elite speed.  4th fastest at the combine.

That's a terrible comparison.  He's not a blocking TE at all.  He's literally the complete opposite of Kellen Davis. 

Ridiculous. Kid has the best TE hands among the class and Kellen Davis treats a football like an oversized watermelon ?
