Only one top 10 tight end was drafted in the early 1st round. I understand Bowers is special but this should show you how valuable OTs are compared to TEs. Its really not comparable.

Lazy arse

But seriously, that is pretty interesting info. I personally would not put much thought in the highest paid because so much of that can be swayed by timing of contract, plus rookie deals would/could change some of this.

But interesting info either way.

Edit: As soon as I hit submit, I realized Lane Johnson wasn't in the PFF top 10 as a 2nd team All-Pro. Is Sewell the only RT in the top 10, or is Lane an outlier?

a. You said legit
b. You said "early 1st"

Of that top 10, 3 were drafted in the early 1st (Sewell, Smith, and Williams), and that is the elite of the elite...more than just "legit".

c. You said "any position". My response to that wasn't about TEs
