I think both Engram and Henry are perfect fits for their respective systems.
In terms of sheer "talent," I'd probably place Henry and Howard in one class, and Engram in the other.
Engram is just not that big. He would be a big WR in the NFL at 6'3, 227. He has great straightline speed and is faster than most LBs and some safeties. Also, he is an incredible route runner.
Leading TEs in the SEC for 2014
Receptions
1. Steven Scheu - 39 receptions (no one has mentioned this guy)
2. Evan Engram - 38 receptions
3. Hunter Henry - 37 receptions
Receiving yards
1. Evan Engram - 662 yards
2. Steven Scheu - 525 yards (no one has mentioned this guy)
3. Hunter Henry - 513 yards
Receiving TDs
1. Steven Scheu - 5 TDs (no one has mentioned this guy)
2. Malcolm Johnson/AJ Derby/CJ Uzomah - 3 TDs
3. Evan Engram/Hunter Henry - 2 TDs
Steven Scheu is arguably the best returning TE in the SEC and he hasn't been mentioned once in this thread - second in receptions and receiving yards and first in TDs. Also, he is 6'5, 250.
Poor kid. If he had those numbers at nearly any other SEC school, we'd be all over his jock right now

Scheu had a good season but I think it was more of being the only option in a very bad system than being an elite TE.

You are right TA, to be honest I hadn't heard diddly about Scheu though he seems to have had a great season for a woeful Vanderbilt team. I'd have to watch some games of his to see if he is a good hybrid who can catch the ball or if he can level people in the blocking game as well.
I think Engram has a solid shot at a NFL career. His size makes him a tough match up for corners and his speed for LBs. If I was a GM looking to shore up my passing attack I'd take a long look at a kid like that.
