Top 10 TE's in 2025 Draft

I really like this guy, Luke Lachey. I moved him up to #3 on my list. He'll likely be a multi-role TE. He has strong bloodlines and football background, he is the son of former NFL ALL-Pro O-Lineman Jim Lachey.

3- Luke Lachey- (TE) Iowa (6'6"/253#)
Lachey has an exceptional catch radius and body control, consistently winning contested catches in traffic and along the sidelines. He showcases soft reliable hands with a low drop rate, providing a safety valve for QB's in crucial situations. Lachey is adept at finding soft spots in zone coverage, demonstrating a high football IQ and spatial awareness. He's a versatile weapon in the passing game, capable of lining up inline, the slot or split out wide. Lachey displays a natural feel for setting up routes and creating some separation at the top of his routes. He possesses ideal NFL Tight End size at 6'6"/253#, with a frame to add bulk without sacrificing mobility. Lachey is a high character individual with impressive academic achievements, indicating a strong work ethic and coachability.
Lachey lacks elite speed and explosiveness, he may struggle to consistently separate against NFL-caliber Linebackers and Safeties. His blocking technique needs some refinement, particularly in drive-blocking situations where he can at times struggle to maintain leverage. Lachey's route tree could use some expansion, he is primarily relied on as a short to intermediate target in college.
Lachey projects as a high upside Tight End prospect with day two draft potential, he's viewed favorably in a competitive draft class, likely slotting in the second or early third round. Lachey's blend of prototypical size, soft hands and football IQ make him an attractive target for teams looking to bolster their TE room with immediate contributor potential. With continued continued refinement of his blocking technique, expanded route tree and strong work ethic, Lachey has the tools to develop into a solid TE-1 at the next level.
