With all the pre-NFL draft attention usually reserved for QBs, OT and various skill position players there isn’t a lot attention devoted to TEs. Tight ends are almost always overlooked but with the passing game taking over the NFL gambling action in recent years this position has gained in importance and lucky for GMs this year’s NFL draft is loaded in TE talent.

There’s quite a lot of disagreement among NFL betting experts as to how talented some of these TEs are, and their ability to impact the NFL gambling results in the years ahead, but there is little disagreement about Florida TE Aaron Hernandez.

Hernandez is the hands down, number one talent in the TE class in this year’s NFL draft and he’ll all but certainly be the first player taken in the draft. After displaying terrific hands, speed, and scoring prowess against SEC defenses the sports betting world is sold on his NFL betting potential. Whether or not a team will spend a first round pick on him or not remains to be seen, but he’ll be the first TE off the board in the draft.

Rob Gronkowksi of Arizona, perhaps the best all-round TE in this bunch (NFL gambling experts love his blocking ability), and Anthony McCoy of USC are both highly acclaimed and should go in the first two or three rounds of NFL draft picks. Jermaine Gresham is another big name TE who has terrific in the college football betting but many NFL betting analysts have their doubts. He could slip in the draft and make some team very, very happy in the upcoming football betting season.

Perhaps the most interesting TE prospect in the entire NFL draft is Jimmy Graham from the University of Miami. He’s only had one year of college football betting experience but he is a terrific athlete and at 6’9” and speedy he could become a major force in the NFL betting action.
