DRAFT Pick 91, Patriots Select TE Devin Asiasi (trade up)

[DropKickFlutie]

6'5 265 pounds. Big kid. 4.7 40-time.
ESPN says a "vertical seam stretcher". Some reports say he could be the best TE blocker too. Patriots traded up into the 3rd with Oakland.

love it

Living in LA, I caught a couple UCLA games next year. Main takeaway: Asiasi is real big, like Gronk big. Also has pretty good speed for his size, kind of guy that is at least fast enough to punish teams that try to stick a slow LB on him, and probably fast enough to be a threat attacking the seams. Wish I'd paid closer attention so I could give any opinion on him as a blocker. That's not much, just what little I remember off-hand.

Gets down the field, makes people miss AND throws people out of the club blocking? I like this pick a lot.

I see him listed as 6'3" 257 lbs. Pretty big difference compared to 6'5" 280, so would be good to know which is real.

he definitely wasn't 280 when I watched UCLA next year. He's big, but that's like significantly bigger than Gronk so I can say pretty confidently he wasn't that. 260-265 seems more likely.

6'3", 260lbs at the combine.

I could see us double dipping at TE. Still a couple 4th and a 5th tomorrow.

 

[Ring 6]

44/641/4 last year. From delasalle HS, the school that had the 100 game unbeaten streak that they made the movie about.

 

[mikey m]

I believe the 257 number is correct. But, Samoan, so add 2in and 20lbs and round up.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

He isn’t 280

Off a quick search 3 different reports have him at 285, 280, and 279 pounds. Dunno.

I'll revise weight when we know for sure. I was just going off reports.
