2016 NFL Draft Prospects By Position: Tight Ends

Some teams are blessed with tight ends worth a d@mn. Our beloved Houston Texans are not among those teams. Take a look at the tight end prospects available in the 2016 NFL Draft and dream of tight ends that block, catch, and score!

Tanner McEvoy couldn't snatch the QB job at Wisconsin from Joel Stave, but his work on defense and as a tight end has more than made up for it.

The Texans have three tight ends on the roster, Garrett Graham, C.J. Fiedorowicz, and Ryan Griffin. None of these men are awesome in any way, shape, or form. None of these men should be penciled in as an automatic starter in 2016. None of these men should have our loyalty. With that in mind, we're taking a look at tight ends, so that whomever our quarterback is next season (and I'm using the singular form of that word because my hope is that we finally manage to establish a starter who won't miss weeks with injuries and won't be at risk for getting yanked due to sh.ttiness) has a dependable target.

CBS has 25 tight ends ranked on their site, including Tanner McEvoy (Wisconsin) and the uncomfortably-named Ryan Malleck (Virginia Tech). Draft Breakdown also has a surprising number of tight ends on their site, including almost-local (stuff it, Jerruh!) boy David Morgan II (Texas-San Antonio).

What say you, BRBers? Which guys are you looking at? Which guys should we be looking at? Who will free us of the tyranny of Garrett Graham's eternal bout of coach's indifference?
