ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- There comes a point in every draft where many a player would prefer to not hear his name called. As this year's draft slogged toward its conclusion after three days and seven rounds, tight end Henry Krieger-Coble reached it.
To be drafted in the seventh round would have meant a greater signing bonus, but perhaps a lesser opportunity. Maybe he goes to a team chock full of tight ends, or perhaps he lands on one that doesn't emphasize the position the way others do.
"By the mid-to-late seventh round, you're sitting there and watching, and you're like, 'You might as well try to find a great fit for what you do,'" Krieger-Coble recalled.
