Given the amount of cap space I don't see a scenario where Bennett is not resigned unless he wants crazy money. We have many other positions that need to be restocked in the draft. Tight end is a luxury.
Considering Gronkowski's injury history, I would say finding a good 2nd tight end in the draft or free agency if Bennett signs elsewhere is a necessity. A good tight end makes this offense run smoothly.
Our last five drafts, we have picked a defensive player first. I would like to see the patriots draft offense first in the next draft if there is a productive O lineman or a legitimate skilled position player available at 32. Then address defense in rounds 2-3. Of course BB usually goes with best available player, he doesn't draft on need.
The book "war room" is a must read for patriots fans wanting an inside look on how BB evaluates players for the draft
