1. Gonzo
2. Shockey
3. Heap
4. Winslow
5-10. everyone else doesn't matter.

Winslow is completely unproven, but just on his situation and talent, he's worth the nod.

Shockey and Heap are ranked above him solely b/c their production levels are known and high enough to warrant a pick before the 2nd to last round of a draft.

Gonzo is number 1 b/c of obvious reasons. However, to kind of assess the situation correctly, one needs to think of the Grand Canyon when thinking of the gap between the #1 and #2 TE in the league.

Doesn't Graham's value drop since New England used a first round pick on a TE? Kind of like what happened in Indy last year where Clark took a lot of passes away from Pollard. It doesn't help that Graham has stone hands. ;-)

Graham was good for only one reason last year: Brady loves TEs in the redzone. Its the same reason I used Fauria the year before that. He did almost nothing just about every week (and unless you have a top 3 TE you shouldnt count on them for points, ever). However, he had like 6-7 TDs over the year, 3 games with a pair of TDs. When that happened it won me games. So, just wait and see which TE comes out of NE as the starter and grab that one late in the draft.

I think Winslow will be equal or better than them this year because he has a much more experienced QB throwing at him than Shockey and Heap do. But in the same instance, I know EVERYONE takes Shockey and Heap before him. So I also know I can get him later. I haven't seen him go before the 5th round in any mocks, which is cool, because that's right about where I'm prepared to take him.

I'm right there with you.
