Floor: Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Rams

Noah Fant’s floor would be Gerald Everett of the Rams. Everett is in high power offense and does possess good athleticism; However, he is not a great receiver in the NFL as some thought he may turn out to be. He has an athletic build and many thought he would be a great steal in the second round. He has not yet developed into a great offensive weapon. He is still young and could progress, but he is not an immediate impact the way that some projected.

Ceiling: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

Yes, it is wild to say that someone’s ceiling is at the top of the league. In this case, however, I think it may be true. Travis Kelce is a very talented pass-catcher and they play very similarly. With great ball skills and athleticism, they both create excellent separation. Kelce is an excellent player and Fant very well could be in the same category.

Team fits:

New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars.

Most likely destinations:

New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans
