I sure hope you are wrong.

Seems to be a popular opinion among draft experts to over-value the TE position right now.

Lets look at the recent history of the first TEs off the board.

2013: #21 Tyler Eifert Bengals,

2012: #34 Coby Fleener Colts

2011: #47 Kyle Rudoph Vikings

2010: #21 Jermaine Gresham Bengals

2009: #20 Brandon Pettigrew Lions

Personally, I don't think any of these guys are top 10 in the league.

Kyle Rudolph is one of the top 3 TEs in the NFL. Eifret will be in the next two years.

Really? Top 3?

So right up there with Jimmy Graham, Julius Thomas, Vernon Davis, Ron Gronkowski, hell even Greg Olsen is better than Kyle Rudolph IMO. Kyle Rudolph is so good the Vikings are letting him play out the final year of his contract without extending him.

And Tyler Eifert was underwhelming to say the least. He scored 2 touchdowns and was replaced in run blocking schemes with Gresham and in 2 TE running sets with Brock.

* are you a Notre Dame homer?

Gronk is hurt, and hasn't done anything in a couple of seasons. Julius Thomas had one good year with Peyton manning running the offense. I'd say the only two better than Kyle Rudolph as a receiving TE are graham and Greg Olsen.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
