Who Will Be The Best TE From The 2017 Class?

Curious to what people think. Howard is the big name, but the rest of the field is really talented.

Howard is my first choice but I think Shaheen is a real dark horse to have a great career. Coming into a run heavy and short passing offense could be great for his development and confidence. Zach Miller has a year left and is up there in age. If he gets it between the ears, he could be top notch

Njoku! Howard will produce sooner due to situation but Njoku is where I am putting my money. Don't think Engram will live up to expectations

No bias here, right? I think Njoku has the most potential but Howard will probably end up being the best. But if we're going with bias I say Engram because he's on one of my teams

Now that's a hot take. He's definitely athletic. For the Vikings sake, I hope so. But passing up both Howard and Njoku?(Engram intentionally omitted)

I don't see it

Except shorter and with a smaller catch radius, David Njoku profiles closer to Evans

Voted Njoku. Genuinely shocked to see him actually leading the poll, presently. Thought everyone was head over heels for Howard.

Good grief. He has none of the physicality.

For my vote, howard has the best shot, but honestly i think everett for a 3rd is far more appealing than the big 3 in the first.

TEs have to block. I don't want Mike Evans playing TE. Also, he isn't Mike Evans at anything.

I still want Howard but there is a lot of talent in this draft. Bucky Hodges does actually have the athleticism to rival the best receiving tight ends. If only he had consistent hands...but maybe that will come in time. Pryor developed hands coming from playing QB...
