Thanks to a pair of exceptionally athletic former first-round picks taking the field together in Daniel Graham and Benjamin Watson, when healthy the Patriots arguably sport one of the deeper tight end groups in the NFL. And if training camp action 2006 is any indication, rookie third-round pick David Thomas may be ready to add another option to the versatile tight end mix this fall.
Looks like more and more people are seeing the value in having multiple TE sets. How long till TE becomes a glamour draft position and then BB/Pioli will have to change their process of drafting again! Multiple TE's as legitimate primary options in a passing offense will likely affect the types of players teams will be looking at to draft as well to help stop these big and fast TE's. They'll shift from the smaller faster LB's probably to bigger LB's to help stop the Watson's, Graham's, and Thomas' of this world.
