My favourite TE is still available - Foster Moreau. In general beyond Hockenson, I think it's a bit of an overrated TE class. Not many true TEs the way BB likely sees them. Probably explains the interest in Ben Watson
Yeah, I thought they’d go get a tight end. Maybe, they just realize there is no way to replace Gronk and have decided to concentrate on other positions. Or maybe Bennet will set aside the bong and come back and play with his brother.Either BB sees something very promising in the current piles of clay on the roster, he firmly believes he'll get one from some team who will jettison a vet TE on final cut day or midseason (a la Keith Byars though he wasn't a TE), thinks he can swing a trade, or I was out sick the day the NFL banned the TE. If not any of those then Gronkowski is intending to come back and BB knows it.
Going into the draft the Patriots were astoundingly bad at TE. As of right now status is completely unchanged. On a happier Patriot(singular) note, if I'm ASJ I'm friggin ecstatic
How bout Mayock on camera with his goofy ass raiders cap? Lol! He's such a tool. Lost a lot of respect for that guy when he took that job.Just wondering as this comes 'round every draft: why the HELL is "upside" always used for "potential"? Is that Mayock's doing? What is wrong with the word potential? Are three syllables too much for folks to handle? %#@*/!!!!!
CGJ has apparently got a number of off field issues. Players with his tape and athletic profile don't drop for no reason. Certainly doesn't sound like a Pats player.
There gonna get one after cuts are made. Do you really think there's a rookie left, that would be a difference maker?
When was that? I can’t recall. He was a bit immature early in his career, and was a really poor tackler, but he turned both of those around significantly.
It's gonna be a chore replacing 87. No doubt. The offense will have to morph into something else until they find it. I think that's why Harry was drafted. He's gonna get a lot of would be Gronk passes.No I don't. If BB thought any of the viably attainable TE's weren't going to fit then probably best none were picked. And, fyi, I was over dramatizing posts for the comedy (attempted) comedy effect.
But draft or not, the TE spot, currently, is astoundingly, overtly bad. For anyone who wants to see the Patriots win the SB, that should be raising a pretty big red flag of concern (with the hope it's adequately addressed by non draft roster building).
I just about fell over after hearing about Mayock and Gruden sending all the Raiders scouts home for doing crappy pre-draft work. It doesn't seem those two can get anyone on the same page with them, including players.How bout Mayock on camera with his goofy ass raiders cap? Lol! He's such a tool.

Stanley Morgan isn't related to the former Patriots WR, Stanley Morgan.
I understood it was because of all the leaking that was happening.I just about fell over after hearing about Mayock and Gruden sending all the Raiders scouts home for doing crappy pre-draft work. It doesn't seem those two can get anyone on the same page with them, including players.
There’s no way they will make three 4th round picks tomorrow. Maybe one 4th round pick. The others will be traded for 5ths, 6ths, and three more 7ths.Poor Stidham if he really got that call
