Now that the Patriots have solidified/clarified its QB situation, it is imperative (in addition to fixing run defense) that we get a good starting tight end before training camp. QBs need a good versatile TE who can be a security blanket for passing throws in the middle of the field, or to help in the running game. Very very few QBs can succeed without a good TE. Every great NFL offense has a good starting tight end. We know our QB had a strong TE to throw to during his best career years, let's maximize our QB's chances of success. I am not sure if Asiasi/Keene are any good, and I remember a similar pair of TEs (Dave Thomas, Garrett Mills) taken with the same coordinator that amounted to being busts/nothing.
"Analysis: The Patriots head into this offseason with an obvious need at tight end. If the Patriots do not acquire a veteran pass catcher, it would be a surprise.
They have some internal options but you really can’t head into the 2021 season relying on just Matt LaCosse, Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene and Ryan Izzo. You especially can’t rely on that group after back-to-back seasons of dreadful tight end production."
