The TE poll closed a long time ago, but now that we're moving towards "the best of the rest" in the other positions, I figured we'd get this one rolling as well.
The top 33:
1 - Antonio Gates San Diego Chargers
2 - Jeremy Shockey New York Giants
3 - Tony Gonzalez Kansas City Chiefs
4 - Alge Crumpler Atlanta Falcons
5 - Jason Witten Dallas Cowboys
6 - Todd Heap Baltimore Ravens
7 - LJ Smith Philadelphia Eagles
8 - Randy McMichael Miami Dolphins
9 - Heath Miller Pittsburgh Steelers
10 - Chris Cooley Washington Redskins
11 - Ben Troupe Tennessee Titans
12 - Kellen Winslow Jr. Cleveland Browns
13 - Ben Watson New England Patriots
14 - Dallas Clark Indianapolis Colts
15 - Jeremy Stevens Seattle Seahawks
16 - Mercedes Lewis* ????
17 - Alex Smith Tampa Bay Bucs
18 - Eric Johnson SF 49ers
19 - Jermaine Wiggins, Minnesota Vikings
20 - Courtney Anderson
21 - Jeb Putzier
22 - Erron Kinney
23 - Zach Hilton
24 - Leonard Pope
25 - Daniel Graham
26 - Kevin Everett
27 - Bubba Franks
28 - Doug Jolley
29 - Marcus Pollard
30 - Kris Wilson
31 - Vernon Davis
32 - Adam Bergen
33 - Wesley Duke
Who are your next 10, in order?
I will add their ranking - 1 point for the #1 (actually #34), 10 for the #10, 11 points for those left off a list. IOW - if 5 of us put Bennie Joppru (just an example) as the #1, but 1 leaves him off, Joppru gets 16 points.

Campbell definitely looks for him more than even Brunell did, and I'm starting to think that Campbell's stronger arm may actually start justifying some of the Gonzalez comparisons that some people were making given Saunders system, meaning deeper routes with him as a primary receiver. Is there a division with better TE talent than the NFC East? Cooley, Shockey, LJ Smith and Witten. Wow.
