TIGHT END RANKINGS 2027 NFL DRAFT

Tight end is thin. None reaches our top fifteen and only one sits inside the top thirty-two, a top end bettered in five of the last seven classes.

LSU's Trey'Dez Green leads it, a basketball convert who checked into actual SEC hoops games before setting the school record for touchdown catches by a tight end, making second-team All-SEC as a sophomore and closing the year with two more scores against Houston. Oregon's Jamari Johnson caught 32 passes for 510 yards after transferring from Louisville, dropped two balls on 40 targets, and turned down the draft to return to Eugene. Temple's Peter Clarke is the outlier - born in London and developed at the NFL Academy, he dropped one ball on 42 targets and won six of nine contested catches while carrying a full inline blocking load.

Size is the common thread, all three at six-foot-six, and so is inexperience: one season of real production apiece.
