Rnd. Pick # NFL team Player Comments
2 55 Baltimore Ravens Maxx Williams The highest rated TE in the draft was the first off the board, should be the best of the Rookies by a long way as he gets a big role in a pretty empty TE depth chart.
3 68 Oakland Raiders Clive Walford Rated the #2 TE in the draft, he was second off the board, Mychal Rivera a sometime fantasy darling is ahead of him to start with, but he has a chance to take that spot.
3 85 Cincinnati Bengals Tyler Kroft Not considered a good blocker, but given the history of TEs in Cincinnati I don't even know here, they selected a blocking TE later,but they have drafted a lot of TEs in recent times.
3 92 Denver Broncos Jeff Heuermann Was mostly used as a blocking TE, BUT has the potential to be a good receiving TE, could be a fit for the Broncos as a Julius Thomas replacement depending on how they use him.
4 117 San Francisco 49ers Blake Bell Listed as 4th best TE, he is a great receiver, but in the NFL he will need to learn to block a lot better, he is likely to be a receiving option for Kaepernick from early in his career.
5 143 Minnesota Vikings MyCole Pruitt A blocker with a chance for crossing routes, has good hands, but no speed or size to get down the field. - Worst spelling of Michael I have EVER seen.
5 157 Cincinnati Bengals CJ. Uzmoah Definitely a blocking TE, I presume this is the Bengals drafting a pair of TEs to help them out in the future.
5 160 Pittsburgh Steelers Jesse James The Steelers fans seem to see him as a Heath Miller replacement but he doesn't have the skills from what I have  seen, he can block well, but he seems to be s developmental prospect who lacks speed, could get there eventually, but not right away, should've taken O'Leary.
5* 171 Baltimore Ravens Nick Boyle Gets the back-up role in Baltimore, is another good option for Flacco. Also listed more as blocking TE, he will probably be the compliment to Williams more receiver type role.
5* 173 Kansas City Chiefs James O'Shaunessey Actually struggling to find facts on this guy.
6 194 Buffalo Bills Nick O'Leary One of my favourite TEs in the class (PS. I spent some time investigating TEs as it is a position I really need in Dynasty), a real clutch catch guy, is a bit small for a TE normally, but has speed (Ran a bit slow at the combine), and can move around, expect to see him in the slot, at Halfback and as a pass catching TE for the Bills (The 'Spiller' role). In saying that I hate the place he landed given that he will be stuck behind Charles Clay.
6 195 Cleveland Browns Malcolm Johnson With Back to back picks (195 & 198) the Browns selected a pair of TEs. The first one was Malcolm Johnson, who has been listed as a Fullback (Very low rating) by most, but can also play HB & TE, he is expected to be mostly a blocker for the Browns, but he can do some crazy stuff with the ball as well.
6 198 Cleveland Browns Randall Telfer A second TE for the Browns, this guy is definitely a TE, and mostly a blocker, can catch the ball, but expect him mostly to be blocking for the runners.
6 202 New England Patriots AJ Derby I lack info, but lots of TEs in New England.
6* 210 Green Bay Packers Kennard Backman Another Late round Green bay pick, watch training camp to see how this goes.
7 229 Jacksonville Jaguars Ben Koyack A reasonably average prospect, but will be only a back-up so no real issue here.
7 246 Dallas Cowboys Geoff Swaim ?
7* 254 San Francisco 49ers Busta Anderson He's actually a Busta.
7* 256 Arizona Cardinals Gerald Christian Mr Irrelevant, 100% chance he is off the team before the 53 man cuts,
