Welcome to New England CJ Dippre TE Alabama

[bakes781]

Known mostly for his blocking but he's got untapped potential as receiver. As shown here

 

[RobertWeathers]

Good size and athleticism. Might have a shot at PS

He's got a shot at TE3. Bell and Ricci are not guaranteed anything.

 

[bakes781]

Not known for his hands but handled the gauntlet drill just fine.


Blocking on the other hand is his bread and butter.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

He’s a monster, looking up on him since he got drafted he seems to be a straight power player.

Maybe a TE3, maybe can be elevated to a goal line FB?

Like how he snatched that first one even though it was behind him and a bit low and didn't break stride.

Going to give Bell and Ricci a run for their money..

Finally, the Rod Rutledge we've been missing.

And if we picked with one of the 7th's, everyone would have been thrilled and we'd be in a bidding war with a dozen teams for the LS we need.

Great job again from the FO and we get BOTH

I wouldn't say that we NEED a LS unless there is an issue with Cardona's Navy commitment. Ashby gives then a 2nd LS for camp and a potential Cardona replacement. LS are known to play well into their 30s. Wasn't Brian Kinchen 35 when the Pats signed him because of injuries to their other TWO long snappers?

Good memory on the Kinchen.

This is by far my favorite UDFA signing. I know people are all hyped about the RB, but we NEED a true blocking TE. Neither Hooper or Hunter are particularly good at it, and I don't think the other 2 on the roster are physically able to be that guy.

This is a kid who has all the tools to be a solid inline TE and the ceiling to develop into a decent receiver as well down the road.

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Here's a blast from the past... he kinda reminds me of John Burke, who was Coates's backup for a few seasons in the early Bledsoe years.

I remember Burke.. Solid player. Very Good blocker...

 

[Brick27]

Would venture has as high a shot as any UDFA of making the roster.

Yea he does. Agree

TB12s 1st career receiver

Former Lakeland, Alabama TE Dippre headed to New England as UDFA

CJ Dippre started his football-playing days with dreams of reaching the NFL. His natural gifts of size, a relentless work ethic and a passion to succeed offered him an opportunity. On Saturday afte…

I was wondering if we would see the return of the FB now that Mickey D is back.

Dippre is a couple of inches taller than Devlin, but just about the same weight.

I already have him as the presumptive TE 3... that guy should have 100% been drafted. I don't see how any other guy we have could be ahead of him for that spot right now. I'd easily take the bet of him vs the field.

Go look at Larison Ken and I believe you will change your mind. He’s the steal of the UDFA.
