...drafting a JAG athlete with little production (in the 3rd).
Bruschi exclusively played defensive end in college, Edelman played QB... Keene's a TE.Keene's highlight vids show the kid was mostly getting catches out of the Hback and moving TE spots. I don't think the kid is a traditional TE. Him and Vitale are basically fighting for the same role. Vitale isn't a good blocking FB he's a pass catching Hback, and Keene video shows he's also not a traditional TE but more of a HBack and moving TE
In two decades of B.B. in New England I can only recall one "move" TE's in Aaron Hernandez. He could also play fullback.Here's an article saying what I was saying. Keene and Vitale are likely competing for the same role. The Hback / move TE role. So the true Devlin FB replacement elite run blocker, neither Vitale nor Keene are that, maybe Jacob Johnson can be that. I just don't see how Vitale makes the team if Keene ends up taking a roster spot.

Why can't we keep both of them? I want as many good players as I can get my hands on...Here's an article saying what I was saying. Keene and Vitale are likely competing for the same role.

Byars maybe...he was another versatile FB/HB/TE...Gash was the hammer that we had later with Develin...neither Danny V nor Keene are that type of player...I'm hoping for Keith Byars or Sam Gash style of play from these guys

Both Vitale and Keene are much more athletic than Develin was -- but neither has his immense strength (39 reps @ 225lbs in the combine).
Both Danny V & DK >> Yake Yohnson."more athletic"
Devein was a top blocker, and was great at picking up the blitz. How well do Vitale and/or Keene meet these roles? Are they even better than Jakob? Obviously, they are not likely to be as good as Develin, one of the best.
Both of them > Yake Yohnson.
Johnson was only about 1 step below Develin in terms of his blocking before he got hurt last year.
Really? Because Johnson was only about 1 step below Develin in terms of his blocking before he got hurt last year. And he's still getting better..
You hatred for all things Belichick, Stoned, is blinding you to reality.,
Well, he's surprisingly as slow as Develin (5.15s 40) and I doubt he's as strong. I don't think he would make the team without the exemption.
Vitale and Keene might not be able to block like Develin but they can still try hard and hopefully they'll help make the offense less predictable when they're in there.
