The 2027 NFL Draft is shaping up to be an exciting one for tight ends, especially after a year that saw the position's value rise significantly. As we dive into summer scouting, we've evaluated 13 tight ends and are ready to share our top 10 rankings—a group that offers some standout prospects for teams to target. Remember, summer is all about positivity and potential, so we'll highlight strengths while noting areas to watch come fall.

Let's jump right into the rankings. First up, Johnson is projecting as an even better prospect than Kenyon Sadiq from the last draft cycle. What sets him apart is his blocking ability, which matches Sadiq's receiving skills—making him a well-rounded threat.

Green is a massive target in the passing game, and it'll be fascinating to see how Lane Kiffin's offense utilizes him. He needs to add some weight and improve as a blocker, but his ceiling is sky-high.

Carter brings good size and is a reliable piece for any NFL offense, equally effective as a blocker and receiver. Keep an eye on him as a sleeper in this group.

Some in the draft community are high on Vonnahme, and it's easy to see why. He's still a projection at this point, but he has the skills to live up to the hype as a top tight end choice.

Hasley might be my favorite underdog here—his effort is unmatched. He does it all for Duke, and his energy with and without the ball makes him a blast to watch.

Dylan Wade was a late addition to my watch list, and I'm glad I added him. He's a fun option in a hit-or-miss UCF offense, showing flashes of NFL potential.

Garrett Oakley could be a day-two pick based solely on his blocking ability. He has a real chance to make an impact at the next level.

Stay tuned as we continue to track these rising stars—perfect for anyone looking to gear up for the next big thing in football!
