I understand why they took him. He was impressive in Senior Bowl practices. But I'm not so sure about this pick.

I’m fine with Ferguson. Solid receiving tight end, great hands. Another Higbee type.

You could’ve given me 10 guesses and this guy wouldn’t have been anywhere close to those 10. But I’ll trust McVay and Snead.

From Bob McGinn scouts talk

6. TERRANCE FERGUSON, Oregon (6-5 ½, 247, 4.63, 3): Started more games than not during a four-year career. “He’s played there for a really long time,” one scout said. “You know exactly what you’re getting with him. He did really well in Indianapolis (at the combine). He’s fluid and smooth. Faster than he looks. Got natural hands. He’s tall, long, athletic fast — and that’s what guys are looking for at the position. I think the scouting community is higher on him than the coaching community because of his issue as a blocker. He’s a pass catcher only. He does not have the ability to block. He’ll be able to start if you deploy ‘12’ personnel and one guy is your pass catcher and one is your blocker.” His combine results included the fastest 40 at the position and the best vertical jump (39 inches). “His blocking was more consistent in 2023,” a second scout said. “He’s a starting NFL tight end. He’s a better overall player than Taylor but they’re graded the same. He’s a little bit better blocker and Mason’s a little smoother as a route runner.” Finished with 134 receptions for 1,537 (11.5) and 16 TDs. “He’s proved he can get down the field,” a third scout said. “Is he tough enough and strong enough to block? He’s a starter.” From Littleton, Colo.
