2020 Rookie Rankings, Tight End

The 2020 Draft is in the books, and in the wake of the draft it's time to look at where these rookies sit as we prepare for dynasty drafts. Over the next few weeks I'll be looking at my post-draft rookie rankings by position. Today I conclude with tight ends.

This is a tough position, and one that's not likely to be a big part of most rookie drafts. In fact, if you're taking a tight end before the end of the third or fourth round in deeper leagues, you're probably desperate. In my rookie drafts so far, I haven't really felt that need. And it's probably a toss up as to who will hit. But below are some guesses, based on landing spot and potential. Again, if you need a tight end in 2020, you're best bet is to try and find one in trade. It's highly unlikely any of these guys hits in 2020.

1. Adam Trautman, New Orleans Saints: This is a case of being the best landing spot. Jared Cook is there and will be the starter in 2020, but Trautman lands in a good spot to have some potential in the future.

2. Albert Okweubanum, Denver Broncos: King Albert as he's known has the potential to be a weapon, and he's reunited with his college quarterback in Drew Lock. Of course, Noah Fant is there, the Broncos' signed Nick Vannett, and there are about six other TEs as well. But I like the long-term potential of Albert O. in what figures to be a better offense.

3. Brycen Hopkins, Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Higbee is there and is the starter, but Gerald Everett has been reasonably successful as well, so I think there's space for Hopkins.

4. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears: This is probably the best bet for year one, but I don't buy it. The Bears signed Jimmy Graham, and their offense is still a bit of a question. But Kmet was the highest drafted tight end, and there is opportunity to ascend in Chicago.

5. Devin Asiasi, New England Patriots: The Pats grabbed a few tight ends, and their offense has more questions than answers. But it's the Patriots, and there isn't really anyone standing in his way.

6. Harrison Bryant, Cleveland Browns: The Browns should have a strong offense, but they also still have David Njoku and signed Austin Hooper to the richest contract for a tight end. There isn't a clear path to targets here.

7. Josiah Deguara, Green Bay Packers: The Packers let Jimmy Graham walk, but they still have Mercedes Lewis and second-year man Jace Sternberger, who figures to be the lead dog. Deguara is just a guy in the mix right now.

8. Thad Moss, Washington Redskins: Moss wasn't drafted, but he was a quick post-draft signing. The Redskins finally moved on from Jordan Reed, leaving Moss to compete with Jeremy Sprinkle. This could end up being a sneaky value.

9. Colby Parkinson, Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks signed Greg Olsen, have Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister. This felt like an odd pick, and Parkinson joins a crowded, yet injury prone group. Injuries could be his best path to playing time.

10. Dalton Keene, New England Patriots: Keene makes the bottom of this list because of where we're at with the position and the team that took him, the Patriots. Asiasi feels like the better Patriots bet right now, but with this team, you never know.
