We signed Vitale. Jakob is back. We don't know about Develin.
Report: Patriots sign fullback Dan Vitale
What we do know is that Belichick wants to have a FB, unlike most GM's.
Dan Vitale is a helluva good football player. He can block, was a workhorse runner at Northwestern, and he can catch passes out of the backfield or line up as an in-line TE. GB squandered his talent, which may be another thing to blame on Aaron Rodgers. Cleveland is too busy chasing shiny things to use a player like Vitale properly.
I love the Patriots backfield, especially if Damien Harris can contribute. That group can exploit whatever weakness an opponent might have.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the way the roster is shaping up. The linebacker draftees are good players with versatile skill sets and the two 6' 230 linebackers signed as UDFAs are football players who may find a spot on special teams. It's Bentley's time to step up in a leadership role.
I'm going with what I've guessed for the past 20 years - 19-0!
