Fant isn't even close to being the 15th pick.

Everyone has their projections and all that, Cooley knows TE's about as good as their is but he's not 100% right all the time. Just like Kiper, Mcshay etc aren't. Fant is a Jordan Reed type TE but a better blocker, in fact some would say he's better all around than Hockerson due to his route running.

That's interesting.

In the same Pod as his Hockenson film breakdown (#55) he was talking about how Fant's routes were sloppy and he couldn't block anyone.

He doesn't view Fant as a weapon other than as a downfield threat with his speed.
