Time to start counting down the last two days until the draft with some video throwbacks and there’s no better person to start with than Gronk. (via Rob Gronkowski drafted by Pats – YouTube)
Has there ever been a player selected who more immediately showed the kind of player they were going to be in the league? This video is missing it, but Gronk putting on the Pats helmet and rocking out was an instant sign this guy was going to be a force.

Danny Amendola welcomes a pair of former teammates on Patriots
Good stuff from Mark Daniels. These little glimpses into the Pats’ training this offseason certainly helps move things along.
He’s such a tough projection for the Pats system. Of course anyone that explosive should be able to find a role in any defense, but I am just not quite sure where to play him at 6′3″, 245 pounds. Closest fit would probably be outside linebacker on early downs and then use him as a versatile pass rusher in sub packages.

I’m definitely keeping an eye on athletic right defensive ends as well in this draft, and while there’s okay depth at linebacker, there’s only the starting trio who can really be counted on. Still, I’m excited to see cameron Gordon and James Morris, as well as Darius Fleming with a full Patriot year under his belt.
