2. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders
3. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals
4. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
5. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions
6. T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings

10. Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills
11. Evan Engram, Denver Broncos
12. Jonnu Smith, Miami Dolphins
13. Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans
14. Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints
15. David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

23. Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears
24. Tyler Warren, Indianapolis Colts
25. Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks
26. Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams
27. Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals
28. Noah Gray, Kansas City Chiefs
29. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
30. Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders
31. Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints
32. Will Dissly, Los Angeles Chargers

I've always considered George Kittle to be heads and shoulders above all other tight ends, including Travis Kelce, mainly due to his blocking. I was a little surprised to see Noah Fant make the top 32, along with an old friend in Will Dissly, who I always felt was underrated.

Also, WTF is Taysom Hill doing ranked as the #14 tight end? Like I've said in the other related threads, I'm not necessarily endorsing PFF in this endeavor.

Klint Kubiak's Offense is said to emphasize TEs as a big part of overall production. We haven't seen that here for a long time so if true it will be a welcome change and should make next years list quite different. It's what I had in mind in another thread when I said nobody really knows how the different positions will be utilized by new OCs. Will it change here? If the edges of the OL produce adequately then we should see more activity for Fant and maybe Arroyo but we have 7 TEs going into TC so maybe someone else will shine and become a big addition to the Offense.
