TE – GEORGE KITTLE, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS – 84.2 OVERALL GRADE

HONORABLE MENTION: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

There has been no more complete tight end in the NFL this season than Kittle. Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz may have more yards, but neither hold a candle to Kittle as a blocker. The 49ers tight end is ranked fourth at the position in receiving and run blocking.

CB – CHRIS HARRIS JR., DENVER BRONCOS – 85.9 OVERALL GRADE

HONORABLE MENTION: Desmond King III, Los Angeles Chargers

Harris continues to play at a high level even if the pieces around him have dwindled in recent years. His 12 coverage stops are the second-most of any corner in the league, and he’s missed only three tackles in coverage on 30 attempts. Harris’ .47 yards per coverage snap from the slot also lead the league.

He’s been amazing this season.

He’s been amazing this season.

Fingers crossed that he can stay heathy.

IMHO, George was the kind of guy who flourished at a program like Iowa where he developed into a usable TE/H-back in 3 years, a good one by year 4 and a very good one as a SR. Now he has continued to improve and the final touch is how confidently he plays in THE LEAGUE. Kudos to him. I hope he gets paid well very soon.

George Kittle came to Iowa, as a very lightly recruited, WR/TE and the
IOWA Coaches developed George into an All Pro TE.

Pretty cool and CONGRATS to Desmond King, as well !!

Still amazes me how Dez slipped to the 5th round. Least with Kittle you can argue he had the ankle injury his Senior year and that's he also lasted till the 5th rd.

Congrats George! Looking forward to watching you CJ take down the Raiders tonight!

As good as Kittle is, probably the best TE in the NFL, I think Hock is going to be at least as good if not better.
