Rob Gronkowski Looks For Patriots To Draft Offensive Playmaker

Rob Gronkowski knows what it takes to be a dynamic pass-catcher with the New England Patriots.

Since Gronkowski’s departure after the 2018 season, the Patriots have failed to sign or develop a true game-breaking skill player on offense. That has limited production for the final year of Tom Brady, Cam Newton’s one season and the three years of Mac Jones’ tenure in New England.

The Patriots move into 2024 in need of a franchise quarterback, though that passer will eventually need a true No. 1 receiver to take the offense to a high level. If the Patriots do not love an available quarterback with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, Gronkowski believes New England should take that opportunity to select a generational talent in Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
