Greg Olson maybe? I think TJ Hockenson is closing in on a top 7 TE spot if he isn’t there already.

Don't forget Olsen was traded for peanuts to Carolina.

Hockenson is the one first round TE i can remember who looks like he might be worth it.

I’ve actually seen quite a few. You’ll lose in the BDL playoffs because of Tannehill. Write that down.

The Tannehill that won Cuba our first playoff game in 2013? Get outta here with that.

Brown has been dropping a lot of passes lately.

Thanks for the free promo Rags.

You'd have a very good case if he could stay healthy.

4.38 or 4.42 for a TE isn’t a deal breaker. It’s absurd speed at that position regardless.

But Pitts can do things Engram never could. If you are just looking at the speed there as the qualifying worth factor you’d be mistaken.

It’s starting to happen now, but you’re absolutely right. Brian Baldinger loves him, always posts about him moving people on a weekly basis.

Can he snap and throw the ball to himself? Is this a Kelce clone? Because even if he’s good, would I have a guy like Pitts round one or discover a Kelce/Kittle/Waller clone in the later stages of the draft? Even if Pitts is good, TEs have to be something incredible to justify first round status.

Oh look now we want to use PFF when it makes our players look good 🤣

That's the only time anyone uses PFF for their own players.

Serious question...when was the last time a top 7 TE was drafted in the first round IRL?

OJ Howard, Noah Fant, Greg Olsen, Tyler Eifert have all been good players. I dunno how you rank any of them, so not top-7 might be fair.

Olsen was only traded because Mike Martz is an idiot whose offense "didn't use a tight end."

Howard was a rather frustrating player with Tampa. We knew he was talented pre injury but never had elite projection. Eifert was also a really good player but the consistent injuries made a big impact on his athletic ability. Fant is going with potential on a team with potential across the skill position and still needing a QB to realize such potential.

Yeah, there's been other factors at play besides talent for all of those guys. It's a weird position because an elite tight end is such a game-changer, but unless you have a top-5 guy it's a pretty low-value position you can fill with role players.
