4) Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Ebron’s combination of size and speed has drawn comparisons to 49ers tight end Vernon Davis. The addition of Ebron would make a lot of sense, as offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi comes from an offense that featured multiple tight end sets built around All-Pro Jimmy Graham. Ebron’s athleticism would allow Lombardi to get creative in moving Ebron all around the field, creating mismatches for Ebron and his Lion teammates.
