The funny thing is... Brate and Howard are both better than Gronk at this point.

Gronk isn't the same player as he once was though + his body is starting to fail him. At this point, he's more name than threat.

Bruce Arians doesn’t really utilize TE’s in his offense so it’s kind of a strange move.

Yeah, they didn't really utilize either Howard nor Brate last season, but I guess they might change things up for TB12.

I'd call it a security blanket for Brady. Just something comfortable that makes him feel more at home. Also heard today that Gronk has slimmed up and they plan to use him more of a receiver than TE.

Good point. They may be looking at offensive tackle in the Draft to protect Brady...

All I ask is to draft a LB in the first round
