Episode Summary:  Sig and I try to sell you on the idea of drafting Jimmy Graham and/or Rob Gronkowski in the first two rounds of your fantasy football drafts.  We also discuss fantasy football draft strategy overall as well as why we target high ceiling tight end instead of wasting middle round picks on presumably safer tight ends.

Episode Rundown:

• Intro
• We get to know Sigmund Bloom a little.
• Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski are discussed at length.
• Julius Thomas and Jordan Cameron and their potential to join the elite are discussed.
• We discuss the fact that the tight ends regularly ranked from five to ten don’t posses the upside of the guys ranked after them.  Vernon Davis, Jason Witten, Greg Olsen, and Dennis Pitta are discussed.
• We talk about the break out potential of Jordan Reed, Zach Ertz, Travis Kelce, Ladarius Green, Tyler Eifert, Kyle Rudolph and Dwayne Allen.
