Jesse James, our 77th ranked tight end, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Detroit Lions because they could use a player of this quality to play tight end. The Lions currently have 4 healthy tight ends, and 2 are rated better than James: (Sam Laporta and Brock Wright).
The Lions currently have no tight ends under contract beyond the 2027 season, so James may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
