Blinkscout 2023 TEs ...

Getting things done early this year for a couple of reasons ... first? My time management has reached almost "competent adult" levels. Second? The chatter as we get closer to the draft might have an effect on me and there's simply no new info that will be coming out this month. Third? These tend to get lost the week of the draft. I'll still do my "Top 2 rounds" draft week.

This is a great year for the position, and a weak year at WR, so we may see more TEs near the top than normal ... I have TEs I am looking at in every round, but after trading for Long, it might be a luxury. That said, only so many can be drafted and there will still be talent out there. Case in point, the odds of Ben Sims getting drafted is low and he's going to be a solid 2nd TE for someone the way he plays. Gindorff with the knee ... does he get drafted?

I'm trying to be more stringent on my grades, but guys will generally be rated higher by me than others because I imagine them in their best fit.

I'll italicize my favorites and guys that will likely be around lower than I have them graded. There's an entire section devoted to them almost...
