Speaking of Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers tight end recently praised Bellinger as one of the "next best to breakout" at the tight end position.
"I like Bellinger out of the Giants," Kittle told Yahoo Sports' Matt Harmon when discussing rising tight end prospects. "I think he's a good tight end, does a lot of good stuff.
... as there should be. But I think it's the combo of Bellinger and Waller that has me most excited. Who in the league currently has a better TE combination? I think these two are what is really going to open up what we do in the passing game. Not to mention less focus for opposing defenses on stopping Saquon.

This, Giants might have two pro-bowl level TEs on the team which is great in today's NFL.
but I did notice that Pro-Football Focus has Waller at sixth and Bellinger at 13th best in the league. Making them the second highest ranked duo in the league next to Houston's Tomlinson and Quitoriano with Baltimore's Andrews and Likely just behind them.

I don’t think that Bellinger is good (top) #1 TE yet
And that’s fine, the giants needed to add players and many of the new additions should help greatly, but I am focusing on player development. Those players going into year 2 of this system and years 2-3-4-5 in the NFL. Especially focused on some of the under the radar players, mid round draftees. Guys like Bellinger. The 2nd year guard.
If this staff and front office is as good as we hope and maybe expect we’re going to see players come out of (relative) nowhere and shine. Mid round picks turn into household names. Let’s fucking go!

Hopefully Waller can stay healthy
Other than Waller we don’t seem to have any top end targets- but we have a lot of options for Jones this year.
