Hi all -
Thought I would give the forum community what I have gathered for 2016 rookies pre-draft. It is a collection of ratings from 25 sources found across the internet, some only had top ten but I used them. I limited this list at a top thirty and I kicked out anyone under eight vote counts. I also kicked out the maximum and minimum from the average to remove outliers. So it is essentially an ADP list but some things stand out a bit. The average values make it easier to see tiers in my opinion. Not surprising, Elliot is rock solid number 1, but numbers 2-5 are also separated. Drop offs after five, nine, eleven

TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline wrote that South Carolina TE Jerell Adams "should hear his name called tonight."
"The Gamecock tight end has been swiftly moving up draft boards since last September," Pauline noted, "and I'm told the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers will consider him as Round 3 closes out." One scout who spoke with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this month said that he has "all the physical skills in the world," but cautions that the 6-foot-5, 247-pounder's mental game might not be up to par with his physical one. Another evaluator observed that Adams is still adding to his blocking acumen. We could see a Day 2 run on tight ends given the thin state of the position.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll called third-round pick Nick Vannett "the best Y tight end in the draft."
The "Y" position is an in-line tight end. In Seattle, Vannett provides insurance behind Jimmy Graham (knee) and Luke Willson, though they are both more "F" tight ends -- particularly Graham. The "Y" tight end has never had fantasy value in the Seahawks' offense. Vannett's Dynasty outlook is bleak.
