On paper, the New England Patriots’ current tight end group is not necessarily among the best in the game. It is, however, in relatively solid shape compared to most other positions on the offensive side of the ball.
As a consequence, the team might shy away from making any big additions to its tight end corps in the NFL Draft. That does not mean there is no room for investment, though. Quite the opposite: the group would benefit from adding some developmental talent given that Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and La’Michael Pettway are all experienced options.
