Round 2, Pick 42 - New England Patriots - Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
Ht: 6’ 3 1/8” Wt: 268

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Gronkowski is the play making tight end that the Patriots have been lacking.  If he can come in and stay healthy, he has a chance to help open up the outside of the field for Randy Moss and Wes Welker.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Has never played a full season and durability concerns could hinder his draft status. However, if he proves he can stay healthy and focused, he has the physical tools to develop into a top-tier, all-around tight end.
NFL projection: Top-50 pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Blessed with great size, good athleticism and soft hands comma, “Gronk” is a true threat on short and intermediate routes and a better blocker than Gresham or most of the other tight ends in this class.  This all-around performer could sneak into the first round if he can work out for scouts and prove he’s fully recovered from back surgery that sidelined him all of last season.
