NFL teams are especially hopeful they can find the next Travis Kelce, George Kittle or Rob Gronkowski in this year's draft.
The latest list of tight end prospects who can serve as a passport to prosperity in the playoffs isn't just top-heavy but lengthy, too.
Some analysts are even calling it more promising than the 2017 bumper crop.
“The tight end group is the best I've seen in the last 10 years,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said.
Good thing, too, because this year's wide receiver class isn't nearly as good as it's been over the last few seasons
“I have 11 tight ends that I have Top-3-round grades on, which is a ridiculous number," Jeremiah said.
