bigjmw84 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 He played on a Maryland team that didn't really utilize TEs much.. He was on the watch list for the John Mackey award. He was used primarily as a blocking tight end in 07, but was given an opportunity to make plays as a receiver threat and had a good 08 season as their #3 option behind D.Heyward Bey, and RB Da'Rel Scott. His senior year he totaled 29 catches for 300 yards in 11 games. ..He had alot to do with the success of their running game.(1872 yds 4.3 ypc) The more I research him the more he reminds me of Heath Miller. The difference between the two is Miller was the #1 option on offense, while Gronkowski was like the 3rd. He is a very good blocker who can be a reliable catcher if given the opportunity. He will be a steal in the 4th or 5th round.Combine6-6 25740 yard dash:4.7820 yard dash:2.7710 yard dash:1.60Reps: 26Vertical: 33"Broad Jump: 10'02"20 yard shuttle:4.263cone:6.92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fanatic Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I believe he will be there in the sixth round when we pick and I would love for us to take him or Davon Drew with that pick, whichever is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokas finest © Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 He has a TE surname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isproab Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Gronkowski is OK. I think a similar guy that I like a little better is John Phillips of Virginia. His numbers are similar to Gronkowski's. I think Phillips is a better receiver while Gronkowski is a better blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don™ Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Another nice TE in the 5-7th range is Bear Pascoe....He had some impressive receiving stats and he is arguably the best blocking TE in the draft...I know Elijay loves him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want him, he is a good blocker but he is not an upgrade over what we have, I would rather go with what we have then to get Pascoe.

coryb78 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Some interesting names being thrown around here in this thread.I don't see Gronkowski making it out of the 5th round but by that point teams are drafting differently so it's possible that he could get to us later in the sixth but if you really wanted him then you might want to take him in the 5th.I had Pascoe going to us in some of my prior mock drafts but now I am leaning towards Cameron Morrah more than Pascoe.Phillips is interesting since he's on record as being 6'6" and 250 lbs. and running a 4.73.I haven't looked into Phillips much as he just got on my radar this past Thursday. He might be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
