So sounds like the honeymoon may be over for Gronk in Boston. Pats went 8-0 after he went down. When healthy, there's no one better. Waldorf is a huge disappoint.
Is he worth blowing a first rounder for in a draft deep in TE's?
I might give them our 2nd rounder for him, but that would honestly be more about keeping the pick away from Reggie than anything Gronkowski brings to the table.
As you said, this appears to be a pretty likable crop of TEs. If we're interested in adding a TE, and it stands to reason we should be at some point in the process, that same 2nd round pick could possibly net us an Evan Engram or Bucky Hodges.
One thing about Walford that warrants mentioning whenever we talk about getting impatient with his development as a receiver: He's made really nice strides as a blocker. In another year, he could be good enough to make Lee Smith expendable, freeing up a place on the depth chart for a developmental type TE3, as well as giving us better injury insurance at the position...assuming, of course, Walford can begin to unlock his potential as a receiver.
If he does, and he's our #2 TE, he's likely being covered by a defense's second best coverage 'backer/safety. Fucker might begin to make a few plays vs those lesser opponents.
But, if not, he's at least coming along as a blocker. Can't say the bastard isn't contributing.
Fuck him... That whole Bahston shit is a different system...
We gotta lock down Carr and Mack.. besides
Did I eva tell ya' fellas about....
I heard this guy had the baby hands like Trump. Might be an issue. Might not be. Bound to affect where he's drafted, though, if what I read turns out to be true.
