Hint: it’s not quarterback.

"While the New England Patriots’ 2019 draft class features an intriguing mix of high-upside talent and players filling current needs Authentic Chase Winovich Jersey , one position widely perceived as being undermanned was not addressed. Despite Rob Gronkowski retiring in late March, the Patriots did not draft a (primarily pass-catching) tight end to help soften the blow of the future Hall of Famer stepping away from the game at just 29 years old.New England did add a tight end after the draft was over in unselected free agent Andrew Beck, but his signing hardly solves the larger issue: the Patriots employ an uncharacteristically thin tight end group with Gronkowski no longer in the picture. It is therefore unsurprising to see advanced statistics website Football Outsiders list the position as the world champions’ biggest need at the moment (via E$PN Insider):The Patriots, who also cut Dwayne Allen earlier this offseason and recently traded away Jacob Hollister, appear to be content with having Seferian-Jenkins, LaCosse, Anderson, Izzo and Beck duke it out for the spots on the team. Maybe they will bring in further reinforcements via trade or the open market, but as things stand right now it seems likely that New England will use the position differently than it did with Gronkowski in the fold.After all Chase Winovich Jersey Boys , Gronk did it all: he blocked like an offensive tackle, and caught passes like a 6-foot-6, 270-pound wide receiver. With no player on the current roster even close to approaching this level of versatility, it would not be surprising if the Patriots simply used the bodies they currently have based on packages and situations. Izzo and Beck could serve as primary blockers, Seferian-Jenkins and Anderson as pass catchers, LaCosse as more of a hybrid.While tight end will therefore maybe not play as big a role in New England’s offense as it did when Gronkowski was still a part of it, its value cannot be underestimated either: together with a re-tooled wide receiver group and one of the deepest running back corps in the entire NFL, the position will serve as a complementary piece in the Patriots’ puzzle — just not the prominent piece it was for the last nine years. Brandin Cooks had chances to make a play. Again, he didn’t. And again Youth Julian Edelman Jerseys , he lost the Super Bowl.The Rams wide receiver lost the final game for the second straight season, after being with the Patriots last season.He suffered a concussion early in that loss to the Eagles, and was unable to make a pair of plays which could have helped the Rams.Cooks was close to a pair of catches in the end zone, but didn’t come up with either one in the 13-3 loss to the Patriots.鈥淚 just got to make those plays,鈥?Cooks said, via Josh Katzenstein of the .He did have eight catches for 120 yards, but it’s the ones he didn’t catch that will haunt him. In the third quarter, he was wide open in the back of the end zone, but because Jared Goff was late seeing him Julian Edelman Jerseys Stitched , Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty had time to break up the pass. They settled for a field goal on that drive.In the fourth quarter, another was broken up by safety Duron Harmon in the end zone. Goff was picked off on the next play by cornerback Stephon Gilmore. hard to say it was his fault as he was nearly the one Rams offensive player with a creditable performance. But being so close, again, will hurt.
