So what do you think we're going to do at TE ? The quick answer is to draft a couple. My question arises, though, because in the small period that Gronk and Bennett were both healthy they didn't play at the same time as much as we expected. We'll never know how that might have changed had they both stayed healthy.
The only time we really played a 2 TE offense was in the days where Gronk and the other guy had truly different skill sets. Obviously we need a backup TE if Bennett leaves. But the idea of getting a co-starter with Gronk and a backup is probably misguided unless we can get a David Njoku type who would bring a totally different skill set to TE.
(Also I think while they both played lots of formations, I think O'Brien was a bigger fan of the 2 TE offense and Josh prefers the 3 WR offense).
