The Tight end class is perhaps the strongest it has been since 2010. It is an extremely talented top of this draft class featuring a number of two-way tight ends, in addition to a couple movement tight ends.  Even after the top half of this class there are a number of intriguing late round options, and not just filled with back-up material. Some of these late round guys have real potential to develop into quality starters down the line.
