The Rams selected Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Hawes totaled only 51 catches over six college seasons – five at Yale and one at Georgia Tech. Primarily a blocker, he ran a route on just 38% of his career snaps and averaged an ugly 0.77 yards per route. Hawes did tally a career-best 1.01 yards per route at Georgia Tech last year – but that still ranked 20th among 21 TEs at the Combine. There are flashes of contested-catch skills on Hawes’ tape, but he’s ultimately a longshot to get enough pass-catching work as a pro to be a fantasy factor.
Hawes adds a blocking element to the Bills offense, but will clearly be behind TEs Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.
He is unlikely to add any pass catching upside, especially short-term.
Hawes doesn't offer much dynasty upside with his lack of pass catching consistency.
He did flash some soft hands at Georgia Tech this year, but his profile leads to a blocking TE mainly.
With a crowded TE room, the Bills clearly wanted more depth to help block for QB Josh Allen and RB James Cook
Hawes is not viable as a rookie pick or even worth picking up for a dynasty taxi squad.
