What tight ends in the last couple of drafts have been worthy of a first round selection?

2010: Gronk (top 5), Jimmy Graham (mid), Aaron Hernandez (mid)

2011: Julius Thomas (late)

2012: NONE

2013: Kelce (top 5), Zach Ertz (mid), Jordan Reed (late)

2014: NONE

2015: Darren Waller (late)

2016: Hunter Henry (late)

2017: George Kittle (top 10), Evan Engram (late)

2018: Mark Andrews (mid), Dallas Goedert (late)

2019: TJ Hockenson (mid)

 

So according to that decade, 14 total TEs for an avg of 1.4 worthy of 1st round selection per year. A top 10 draft pick-worthy TE comes along once every 3-4 years. There is typically ONE tight end worthy of mid-round or higher selection every year. Picking the right one is the tricky part.

Chose that decade because it's the 10 year period where the players had all completed their rookie contracts.

Thanks for proving my point.  Tight ends in the nfl do not hold first round value.  and I could debate you on a lot of those names.  TJ H is most certainly not living to his draft position as is goedert, engram, waller or henry and andrews is up for debate. 

 

Kittle and Kelce are beasts no doubts but as you just showed they are extreme outliers.  Picking a te in the first is fuging stupid, picking a te in the top 10 is beyond moronic.

 

What te in the past 2 drafts have been worth it?

and furthermore, even if we use your data (which is incredibly flawed) you have only 7 tight ends in the past 8 drafts that, in your opinion, are worthy of a first round grade based on career results.    Thats barely 1 a draft that makes consideration and that is a stretch at the very very best

 

Tight ends in the nfl do no hold first round value.  We've had like 4 in 2 decades that are true game changers

You wouldn't be debating me, you'd be debating multiple redraft articles I found online. I didn't put a single TE up there that wasn't found in a redraft article being taken in the 1st round. Then I viewed their stats and made an attempt to split them up by position in the 1st round.

Hockenson and Goedert are both averaging over 40 receiving yards/game and more TDs per game than DJ Moore. They are worthy of 1st round selections.

There are also borderline tight ends like Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Eifert, and Noah Fant that would be borderline last pick in the 1st types, but more likely 2nd rounders.

Your point was to NEVER select a TE in the first. I proved that wrong.

I doubt this but I guess crazier things have happened. In this case I'm grabbing a DE and WR/TE in the 2nd and not trading nothing. I like the 2nd round value this year

 

Getting Stroud and keeping all our picks is the best scenario  we could ask for.

Geodert career highs are 58 catches 5 tds 800 yards.  Seriously what in the holy fug are you talking about, if you knew that was what you were getting predraft you would still select him in the first?  GTFO man.   Even then if I agreed with your opinion thats only 7 guys in 8 drafts.  Thats not value

If DJ is worth a 1st round selection, so is Mark Andrews at TE.

You and few others would pass on a TE in the 1st if you knew they'd give you over 40 yards and more TDs per game than your #1 WR.

why are you comparing him to dj moore as I can give you 20 other wrs that totally justify their draft position in that same time frame?

 

You literally just stated Geodert is a first round talent at tight end, fuging crazy man and TJ Hock just got traded in division.  Pitts just had a lol 2nd year and he was fuging picked 4rth.  fuging a man do your homework instead of simply googling articles

I'm the one doing homework. You're just yapping.

I'm comparing their receiving #s to our #1 WR. I shouldn't need to explain why a TE averaging anywhere close to your #1 WR is worthy of 1st round selection.


As to your original point of tight ends NEVER hold 1st round value, you can see from the names provided there is usually 1 per draft. I'd argue 1-2. Still makes you wrong.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
