I am warming up to Scott Chandler TE Bills he's not much of a Blocker for his size. But he can run and catch with the best of them a poor mans Gronk. Chandler is in our Division so he is no mystery to BB and co...with him on board we wouldn't need to go TE on Day 1. The Third and Fourth Rounds should provide some decent value at TE.

I'll read it but the article already starts as accurate as Mr. Magoo throwing a baseball.

"In hindsight, the Patriots could have addressed the tight end position as they built their team for 2013, and the choice to address other needs ultimately hurt their Super Bowl quest."

WTF? They had Gronk (expected to miss only 3 or 4 games, ended up being more) , Hernandez and that kid who went to the Jets, who made quite an impression on the training camp.

Too bad he was awful in pre-season.

Too bad he was awful in pre-season.

And regular season too.

alot of the mock drafts have us taking Jace Amaro in the first round...and I like the pick. an athletic move TE who likely could contribute right away is just what we need.

the Draft is a better way to re-stock the TE position than FA if you are looking for someone to adequately replace what hernandez did. signing a bunch of Jag's didnt exactly work out this past year. but its clear BB loves having 2 pass catching TE's and its clearly what he wants/wanted this offense built around

2 pass catching TE's, a slot WR and an outside WR. 3 of those positions appear to be filled next year

outside WR - Dobson
SLot WR - amendola/edelman(possibly)
TE1 - Gronkowski
TE2 - ?? as of right now
