The NFL is falling more in love than ever with the tight end position and this year’s draft class has a lot to offer. While Zach Ertz and Gavin Escobar are solid talents in their own right, Notre Dame’s Tyler Eifert stands above the rest.

He creates a match up nightmare at the position and is a polished receiver that can come in and take advantage of his skill set from day one.

It is hard to imagine a scenario where Eifert escapes the first round, and there is even a chance he could be selected in the top ten.

The Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons are just a few teams who immediately stand out as good fits for Eifert.
