Top 10 Tight End Prospects

by user Dolphinfan

I have to disagree with CBS SportsLine again. When it comes to the top tight ends in the country Leonard Pope and Joe Klopfenstein are my one and two. I see both of these guys having long NFL careers, Pope is in the Randy McMichael mold and Klopfenstein could be the next Jay Novacek.

Dominique Byrd is a beast. He has great hands and perfect size but attitude could be an issue with him. Marcedes Lewis, like Byrd, has the size and hands but seems to be a finesse type player. I think of Keyshawn Johnson and Lewis as the same type of player even though they play different positions.

What are your thoughts?

3. Anthony Fasano Notre Dame
4. Leonard Pope Georgia
5. Joe Klopfenstein Colorado
6. Tony Scheffler Western Michigan
7. Dominique Byrd USC
8. Jason Pociask Wisconsin
9. Anthony Mix Auburn
10. T.J. Williams N.C. State

I'm really surprised nobody is talking about David Thomas of Texas as a top prospect. I've seen him play on the same field as Klopfenstein, and I can tell you that he's got better hands and plays smarter than Kloppy. David Thomas is a sleeper, and whoever decides to draft him will be getting a heck of a TE.

re: Jai Lewis, there are apparently a good number of scouts in Indy right now to check him out -- NFL scouts.
