Just a lil FYI note here (mainly b/c i take everything Kiper says with a grain of salt) but he has rated Kelce out as his top TE coming out this year. That's awesome for Kelce as well as the Bearcat program. That's back-to-back NFL picks from the TE position. ALWAYS a great recruiting soundbite to use.

With Andy Reid moving to Kansas City - and basically taking over the GM spot too - does KC become the next UC West? They had a nice little pipeline in Philly. He did coach a Good UC TE and a UC Kelce. Why not combine the two?
I have told multiple people that he will be the ist TE drafted, round 1.
I don't know about round 1, however I can see 2-4. Aaron Hernandez
What teams project a need at TE? I'm happy for Kelce. Thanks for posting mc, I take Mel with a grain of salt too but he is great publicity for a University.

NFL scouts have said probable round 1 to the UC coaching staff, former UC coaching staff.

I'll say 2nd round.
Only problem is that there is, at most, 1 TE usually drafted in the first round. Some years no TE gets taken in the first round. If Kelce gets taken in the second round that's like a DT getting taken in the first round.
He should definitely be the top ranked SR TE. If both Eifert and Ertz leave early then I can see him being a 2-3 round pick. However, if just one of those guys returns to school I could see his value jump significantly.
He was also named ESPN.com's 2012 All Bowl team TE.

Walterdraft has got him in 4th round to da Bears.
A couple of top TE's have come out,,which may push him down
in some eyes.
But I think he'll go higher than 4th rd.

There's at least a couple early-entry TEs that will be drafted ahead of him for sure.
