Tight end is typically not a position to neglect in drafts. In the event you do, you might risk having to dig through the waiver wire each week in search of a serviceable starter, a proposition that’s, at best, touch and go.
If you find yourself without one of the tight ends in Michael Fabiano's top-three tiers (that would be, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson, George Kittle, Darren Waller, Dallas Goedert, Kyle Pitts and Evan Engram), then you might as well wait until the double-digit rounds to address the position. Once there, one of these three sleeper tight ends could provide value week-to-week, if not the occasional spike performance.
