Posted May 4, 2014
Most NFL analysts are predicting that North Carolina's Eric Ebron will be the only tight end selected in the first round of the draft. The 6-4, 250-pounder blossomed as a sophomore in 2012, catching 40 passes for 625 yards and four touchdowns while starting 11 of 12 games for the Tar Heels. Last season Ebron was named first-team All-ACC after recording 62 receptions for 973 yards and three TDs. (Chicago Bears)
