*****
1. Isiah Likely, Coastal Carolina
It’s not an elite year at tight end, and Likely is a second-round guy, but I like his pass-catching skills.
*****
2. Greg Dulcich, UCLA
I love this kid and he has a ton of potential to be an absolute steal with his athleticism.
*****
3. Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M
He has the highest ceiling of any tight end in the draft, but I’m still waiting to see it all come together.
*****
4. Trey McBride, Colorado State
He won’t wow you with one thing but he’s tough as nails and could be the most productive of the group in the long run.
*****
5. Cade Otton, Washington
He’s a physical kid and an excellent blocker who can help move the chains.
6. Jeremy Ruckert, Ohio State
He never lived up to his potential in college, but he’s a downfield threat in the right offense.
*****
7. Jelani Woods, Virginia
He’s not super fast but he’s massive and hard to bring down.
*****
8. Cole Turner, Nevada
With 19 touchdowns over the last two seasons he’s a red-zone natural.
*****
9. Jake Ferguson, Wisconsin
A good blocker with good hands, he doesn’t make many mistakes.
*****
10. Charlie Kolar, Iowa State
He’s plateaued a bit, but he’s still one of the more reliable tight ends in the draft.
