Two tight ends in the top 15

It’s going to be really interesting to see where the Iowa tight ends get drafted because both of them are ranked in Daniel Jeremiah’s top 15.

T.J. Hockenson checks in at No. 5, while Fant is a bit lower at No. 15. Hockenson is viewed as the better all-around player who has Gronkowski-like upside, while Fant is the prototype pass-catching “big receiver” playing tight end.

It’s likely only one of them will be drafted in the top 20, with Fant running the risk of sliding out of the first round altogether.
