The Amazing Huddle Draft Contest!

I sure hope you are wrong.

Seems to be a popular opinion among draft experts to over-value the TE position right now.

Lets look at the recent history of the first TEs off the board.

2013: #21 Tyler Eifert Bengals,

2012: #34 Coby Fleener Colts

2011: #47 Kyle Rudoph Vikings

2010: #21 Jermaine Gresham Bengals

2009: #20 Brandon Pettigrew Lions

Personally, I don't think any of these guys are top 10 in the league.

Kyle Rudolph is one of the top 3 TEs in the NFL. Eifret will be in the next two years.

Really? Top 3?

So right up there with Jimmy Graham, Julius Thomas, Vernon Davis, Ron Gronkowski, hell even Greg Olsen is better than Kyle Rudolph IMO. Kyle Rudolph is so good the Vikings are letting him play out the final year of his contract without extending him.

And Tyler Eifert was underwhelming to say the least. He scored 2 touchdowns and was replaced in run blocking schemes with Gresham and in 2 TE running sets with Brock.

* are you a Notre Dame homer?

Gronk is hurt, and hasn't done anything in a couple of seasons. Julius Thomas had one good year with Peyton manning running the offense. I'd say the only two better than Kyle Rudolph as a receiving TE are graham and Greg Olsen.
