IMO he should be in the top 5.
On to Kelce...
Kelce should fit in between 40-60. Based on just his receiving numbers in 2014, which ranked 5th at TE with 862 yards, being ranked that high is probably just being a Chiefs homer....but then you have to figure in a few factors.
1. He didn't start the whole year because he was still recovering from knee surgery.
2. He was the highest graded run blocking tight end.
3. The team adding speed on the outside should open up chunk plays for Kelce going forward.
He should be the 3rd tight end on the list.

There's a good chance Kelce will be listed this year and 40-60 isn't out of the question.
Remember, this list is supposed to be a ranking of players
heading into 2015. So really it's more of a projection than a ranking based off the previous year, although that's the strongest indicator of where a player should be...
All of the other TEs that are likely to be listed have pretty much peaked. Kelce's arrow is pointed wayyyyyyy up (I feel like I said that in this thread already).
