I am confused with this whole receiving TE option when we use a heavy dose of SLot receivers in our system.
with edelman and wes in the slot why the heck do you need a receiving TE
Its all about having options and going to the hot receiver who will catch the ball whether it be a WR,TE or RB.
Give Brady what the Colts have - Clark, Wayne, Collie, Gonzalez and Garcon. 5 legit targets and not scrubs like Aiken, Stanback and Galloway.

This point brings up another that I wanted to broach. Who else here would have preferred that the Pats attempted to keep Baker and Watson? That way, they could have beefed up DE, OLB, WR and other needs in the draft. Now, they'll have to spend perhaps two, but at least one draft pick on TE.
It just seems like a weird year to do that given the injury backgrounds of so many of the top TEs in the draft. Let's say they draft a TE with one of the second round picks. We will never know what DE or OLB, as examples, they would have otherwise drafted there, and what they would have done for the team.
Will the TEs they draft, be drastically better than Baker and Watson, such that this was a smart approach? I guess we're going to find out.
I like reading all the rumors or ideas concerning acquiring a tight end. It is the next best thing to a game. I guarantee BB already has chosen his tight ends. Either by trade which will be announced at a later date, or a cut player which is already a done deal. He may pick one up in the draft, but would think theirs some uncertainty in that. This is BB we are talking about, does anyone think he's cut, not signed his TE without having a plan.
