It’s not always the biggest names that are key to the NFL Draft. There’s a thing called value, and here are some valuable picks at positions. Here are the top five tight end values.
1. Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions
— I love this value in round two as I think LaPorta could be the best Iowa TE star and this is a big position of need.
2. Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders
— Mayer fell in the draft due to a lack of overall athleticism. I don’t care. He’s a great in-line blocker, he sits down well in the zone, and he is a red zone threat.
3. Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars
— The Penn State standout is going to be a big target for Trevor Lawrence and more of an in-line compliment to the WR ability of Evan Engram.

4. Darnell Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers
— He has a legit chance to be one of the best weapons in all of the NFL. We have never seen a tight end with this size, blocking ability and athleticism.
5. Zack Kuntz, New York Jets
— He was a big recruit out of HS and has the ability to stretch the field, and the former Penn State transfer could be great with Aaron Rodgers.
