2011 NFL Draft Tight Ends Rankings: Kadar vs Dove

Pro days are over and workouts are wrapping up so it's time to finalize positional rankings. One of the most intriguing thing about the NFL Draft process is that each person values prospects differently. For NFL talent evaluators and draft analysts alike, the rankings at the top look similar, but opinions vary on mid-level players.

Here at Mocking the Draft we wanted to show you how our opinions differ.  Dan Kadar and Jon Dove are breaking down each position giving you their top 10 in each. Make sure to check out our scouting report page to get full reports on some of the prospects.  Also don't hesitate to leave some feedback about our rankings or maybe even your own.

This tight end class doesn't have the same feeling as last year's class.  The top prospect is coming off of a significant injury and after that it is a bit of a toss up.  Dan and I both feel the same about our top two player then our rankings really vary.  Some of the prospects have upside but as a whole this tight end class is really unimpressive.

Lance Kendricks is no 9??? Whoever were to get him in the 6th/7th would have the biggest steal, WOW!
This tight end class doesn’t have the same feeling as last year’s class.

REALLY? They are exactly alike, minus not having a Jermaine Gresham/stud 1st round TE. Rudolph is a mirror image of Gronkowski, literally. Then you have a plethora of good/not great TEs. To me, there really isn’t a drop off.

Lee Smith=better blocking Anthony Fasano. Big, strong, sure handed red zone/short yardage target.

The Sunkist Kaiser, most epic thing since the Grizzly BLAAAAAAAIR! Relax, play, and drink Sunkist! Your Kaiser commands it.
