Here's a list of guys that have produced consistently and have earned a right to be ranked above Eifert IMO: Clay, Olsen, Bennett, Witten, Julius Thomas, Kelce, Cameron, Miller, Rudolph, Gronk, Celek, Gates, Cook, Graham, Davis, Walker, and Reed.
That's 17 guys right there that have proven themselves. Sure Celek had a down year and Rudolph has been injured, but both have proven they produce extremely well.
Then you have teams that have great depth and young players. Like behind Celek there is Ertz. Then you have Ebron and Pettigrew in Detroit, young stud with another quality veteran.
Baltimore they have Pitta and just drafted Maxx Williams, the highest rated tight end in this year's.
Jets have Amaro, a young, promising tight end.
We can go by what we THINK our guys are going to do, but there are a ton of proven players and young players to rival ours, and many of those players have shown they can certainly produce consistently at a high level. We don't know if Eifert and Kroft can do that.
There's not many teams with unproven talent at the tight end position once you look at it all. So it's not as crazy to believe that we're in the bottom half of the league. Inexperience does that.
