If he's Witten, then who is GRONK's equivalent?

Next year we have to see how it works when wes leaves and we use price or edelman in there. then the obviously they will be in man and hernandaz will be doubled.

Welker isn't going ANYWHERE...

He'll retire a Patriot....

Before the 2010 draft, National Football Post had Hernandez ranked as the top TE, ahead of Gronk (2) and Gresham (3). Pretty awesome the Pats got the top 2 when they fell because of question marks, and they're both working out. (Easy to forget Gronk was a HUGE question mark because of his back injury.)

There is no equivalent to Gronk. The guy is a beast and could be the standard for all others to compare to in the future.

Biggest thing that surprised me about Hernandez is he did 30 reps of 225 compared to Gronk's 23. Just lookign at the 2 of them you'd think Gronk would be much stronger.

Last time I didn't see Brady run the route and get open in the end zone. In a completion it takes at least two players to make it happen - the QB and the receiver. Hernandez deserves a lot of credit for the catch. So does Brady. So does the o-line.
