Over the last couple of months eDraft’s writers have been working towards the 2014 NFL Draft by watching film,  compiling scouting reports and drawing up articles for our readers.  With the combine behind us and the draft now on the horizon,  we decided to put our great minds together and compile an eDraft Top 100 Prospects.

In this article I will be giving you the official eDraft post-combine tight end rankings while also giving a brief outline to their game.

1. Eric Ebron,  Tight End,  North Carolina

The junior ranks number 10 on the eDraft top 100 with no less than six writers awarding him a top-ten ranking with a high of six.  Ebron is an athletic pass catcher whilst displaying plenty of wiggle with the ball in his hands despite standing 6’4” tall.  The best tight end prospect since Vernon Davis in 2006,  It is unlikely Ebron falls outside the top-15 come May.

2. Jace Amaro,  Tight End,  Texas Tech

Jace Amaro finds himself 25th on our list.  The Red Raider is a dynamic pass catcher who runs sublime routes which translated to 106 receptions this past season.  Amaro lets himself down in the blocking game and,  although he will never be an inline blocker,  being flexible enough to line up in a traditional tight end position is still necessary even in 2014.  It takes just one team to believe Amaro fits their system – I’m talking to you New England – and he will squeeze into the back end of the first round.

3. Troy Niklas,  Tight End,  Notre Dame

A somewhat under the radar performer in 2013,  Niklas’ draft stock has finally gained momentum in the off-season.  At number 60 on our list,  the 6’6” offensive weapon split opinion amongst our writers.  For example,  three writers had Niklas inside their top-50 while two did not have him amongst their top-100.  Many see Niklas as a project at the next level – will his game translate to the pros?

4. Austin Seferian-Jenkins,  Tight End,  Washington

Another player to split opinion is our 62nd ranked prospect.  On one list Seferian-Jenkins was ranked as high as 37 but another saw him unranked.  A prolific sophomore season was followed by an underwhelming junior campaign and it has draft analysts wondering which will turn up in the NFL.  At 6’5”,  262lbs the John Mackey Award winner is an all-round tight end but a foot injury that came to light at the combine could see his draft stock slide.
