Seferian-Jenkins should be available at a good time for the Bears (second round) and provides all of the tools they look for at the tight end position — good blocking as well as the ability to get off the line of scrimmage quickly and make catches in traffic.  He would complement Bennett nicely and provide a fantastic safety valve option for Jay Cutler to throw to in short-yardage situations.  He’s got great size for the position at 6-5, 262 and is tough to bring down.  However, he has had injury problems in the past which could come back to hurt him in the draft and beyond.
