"Some of the elite tight ends were on display this past weekend during the divisional round of the playoffs. Hopefully all of you astute Fantasy owners took notice because it could impact Draft Day for next season.

There were plenty of studs (Rob Gronkowski, Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham and Aaron Hernandez) and a couple of duds (Jermichael Finley and Owen Daniels). And now, after what was an amazing regular season for guys like Gronkowski and Graham, Fantasy owners want to know when to draft a tight end in 2012.

We rolled out a sneak peek of a first round for next season, and Gronkowski was the only tight end worth consideration in the Top 12. He scored 233 Fantasy points during the season, which would have made him the No. 2 receiver behind Calvin Johnson and No. 5 running back behind Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy, Maurice Jones-Drew and Arian Foster. Taking Gronkowski early would give you a significant edge since he outscored Graham, the No. 2 tight end, by 56 points. "
