Tight Ends

I don’t think this is a good year to need a tight end, so if your NFL team is in need for a playmaker at the position they may need to look at the free agent market.

Arkansas’ Hunter Henry is the top prospect and a potential first round pick but he didn’t run or workout at the Combine and only did 13 reps on the bench to leave a lot to be desired from the All-SEC pick. He has film to suggest he’s a difference-maker in the NFL, but not performing at the Combine was a bad move.

South Carolina’s Jerrell Adams helped himself with the fastest 40 among the position and was a top performer in the 3-cone drill and broad jump.

Ohio State’s Nick Vannett wasn’t a big part of the Buckeye’s offense showed he’s a capable receiver and blocker who could merit being drafted in the middle rounds.

Austin Hooper from Stanford and Ben Braunecker from Harvard are intriguing mid-late round prospects.
