Thanks to @PatriotsXLVIII for this! Great stuff on Gronk who has turned a corner in his offseason and is showing up for all the right reasons.

Our Friday B/R column is up!
What do you think about the signing of Michael Jenkins?
It’s fine. They need to keep throwing veteran receivers into the mix because there’s no clear cut starter at the X position right now. So the vets can compete and hopefully a high-round WR pick comes in who can slowly work into starting. But you’ll need someone on the outside to start the season, so Jenkins could be a good possibility there. But ideally I think they’d want him/Donald to be the 3rd receiver (Branch role from last year) by November with the rookie elevating to the starting lineup by then.
Ideally this is how I’d like the receiver corps:
X – Rookie, Jenkins
Z – Amendola, Edelman/Jones
F – Hernandez, Fells
Y- Gronk, Ballard, Hoomanawanui
Getting Vollmer back at a reasonable price: Awesome or Super awesome? On another note can we give the Pats credit for keeping 2 of the big 3 at least? a sweep would have been nice but this is acceptable to me.
Yeah, pretty super awesome. I really thought for the long term stability of the offensive line he was the key piece of the big three to bring back. I’m sure the crappy market helped make it happen. Is right tackle probably the easiest position on the roster to fill? Yes. But Vollmer can be the best right tackle in the NFL, and since the Patriots are protected if he gets hurt, it’s pretty much the perfect deal.
i thought it would be awesome to grab ESanders from steelers and have him at X position and place AHernandez in Y position. or get a little risky and grab Titus Young after the draft i think if we get Sanders and Young, our offense would be better than 2011 patriots What do you think
Not to get into semantics, but Gronk is the traditional “Y” or in-line tight end, and Hernandez has played the “F”, or flex tight end position. I know some people have suggested putting Hernandez at “X”, which should be your most explosive wide receiver but I just don’t see it. He’s not a great blocker but he has the size to at least keep the defense honest against the run. Putting him out on the edge of the offense takes that away, and also puts his lack of “burner” speed under the microscope. Put it this way, you want Hernandez on linebackers, safeties or sub-corners, not Darrelle Revis.
They have until 4/19 to decide on Sanders, he’s a decent option but let’s be honest, it’s not like he’s guaranteed to light it up. Young had some off the field problems too, so I doubt he’s an option.
It leads me to think they really have to try and get a true X receiver in the draft. There are plenty of guys with potential this year. They just have to pick the right one.
Lots more on this in this B/R article I wrote earlier this week.
