2025 NFL Draft Tight End Rankings

The 2025 tight end class features a strong mix of traditional in-line options and modern flex weapons. Tyler Warren stands out as the classes complete TE1, with Colston Loveland offering upside at the back half of the first round. The group offers solid Day 2 and Day 3 value, with prospects like Elijah Arroyo and Harold Fannin providing upside and scheme flexibility. Although this year’s class doesn’t feature the elite top-end talent of recent years, it’s deep with pro-ready contributors who can be plugged into various systems right away.

TE1 – Tyler Warren, Penn State – 87.8 – Round 1
Warren is a complete tight end with excellent size, nuanced routes, and ball skills. He excels as a red-zone threat and offers the blocking chops to stay on the field all three downs.

TE2 – Colston Loveland, Michigan – 85.3 – Round 2
Loveland offers upside as a starting potential 3-down option and has the highest ceiling at the position in this class. He is a as special as they come as a true separator despite just scratching the surface of his route running ability.

TE3 – Mason Taylor, LSU – 84.4 – Round 3
Son of NFL legend Jason Taylor, Mason has the tools to develop into a good starter at the position. He is a fluid athlete with good ball skills and is very young.

TE4 – Elijah Arroyo, Miami – 82.9 – Round 3
Arroyo is an explosive athlete with upside as a vertical threat and overall receiving weapon. He is not yet a good enough blocker to have a consistent in line role but could find a role at the next level for a team that values more of an H-back or big slot tight end.

TE5 – Harold Fannin, Bowling Green – 82.8 – Round 4
Fannin is an athletic pass-catcher with receiver-like quickness and reliable hands. He thrives in space and shows creativity after the catch, despite his lack of size and physical traits.

TE6 – Gunnar Helm, Texas – 82.3 – Round 4
Helm is a tough, traditional tight end with functional strength and a blue-collar mentality as a blocker. He has sure hands and is a threat after the catch.

TE7 – Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame – 82.1 – Round 4
Evans is a physical presence with solid receiving ability and is a functional blocker. He’s not flashy, but he does the dirty work and consistently and flashes reliable hands.

TE8 – Ben Yurosek, Georgia – 81.8 – Round 4
Yurosek is a great blocking tight end with the ability to run the seam and make tough catches at a high level. While he lacks top end potential, there is a clear role for him at the next level.

TE9 – Terrence Ferguson, Oregon – 81.0 – Round 4
Ferguson is a developmental tight end with good athletic ability. He is unrefined as a blocker and a hands catcher, but has potential to be a starting caliber tight end based off his athleticism alone.

TE10 – Luke Lachey, Iowa – 80.4 – Round 5
Lachey is a functional tight end prospect that lacks standout traits but will find value at the next level due to his blocking capabilities and overall receiving ability.
