Thanks for your support!
He was the OC at NE when they drafted Gronk and Hernandez in the same draft. So. Yeah. Maybe even more so than Kubiak.Not happy. We have another needs that are important and with 3 TE's already on roster why go for this one soo early
BOB is in love with TE's i guess
Considering he was the one that drafted Gronk and Hernandez ( before he got his degree in thug-a-nomics)Not happy. We have another needs that are important and with 3 TE's already on roster why go for this one soo early

OB didn't draft those guys. That would be Patriots GM & Head Coach Bill Belicheat.Considering he was the one that drafted Gronk and Hernandez ( before he got his degree in thug-a-nomics)
TEs are a huge part of OB's offense

No, the Texans did not have an inline TE. This guy's a starter in a 2 TE lineup. And do we know for sure that X won't be tried at RT?Good player , but I'd have gone a different direction - RT , DT , DE , CB , QB are all more pressing needs than TE.
This was a luxury pick I don't think they could afford to make.
hes gonna be different than OD. Easy to get a feel for what he brings here...If you gave this pick a thumbs down you have never seen Fiedorowicz play. Fantastic pick. One of my favorite players in this draft.
If the Patriots are looking for Rob Gronkowski insurance, or better yet, a durable version of Gronk, there’s one lurking in the draft.
Iowa’s C.J. Fiedorowicz just might be the closest to a Gronk clone in terms of being a dual-threat tight end.
First, he’s arguably the best blocking tight end in the draft. He also has great hands and can catch the football.
The fact he fits in the Gronk mold should come as no surprise. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Fiedorowicz modeled his game after the Patriots tight end.
“A lot of tight ends in the NFL are either blocking tight ends or receiving tight ends. I like watching Rob Gronkowski, someone I look up to,” Fiedorowicz said during the scouting combine. “He can dominate both the line of scrimmage and down the field. That’s who I kind of want to be like.”
Oh yeah.hes gonna be different than OD. Easy to get a feel for what he brings here...

Agreed. This is looking like a great draft so far. Three players that can immediately play.If you gave this pick a thumbs down you have never seen Fiedorowicz play. Fantastic pick. One of my favorite players in this draft.
Neither can block worth a darn.We have Griffin and Graham, who we just paid. This seems like a luxury pick. I'm not too pleased with this one.
Agreed. I like the pick. My only thought is what about Ryan Griffin? Are we not expecting him to improve? Or is this good insurance in case Garrett Graham gets hurt? I suppose we'll be pretty good in double tight end formations regardless. I think Fiedorowicz is a sexy pick on the surface aka nice eye candy.If you gave this pick a thumbs down you have never seen Fiedorowicz play. Fantastic pick. One of my favorite players in this draft.
I gave the pick a thumbs down - Not because I don't like the player. I do like him and think he'll be a quality NFL TE.If you gave this pick a thumbs down you have never seen Fiedorowicz play. Fantastic pick. One of my favorite players in this draft.
Rick Smith Denies Houston Texans Have Talked To New England Patriots About Acquiring Ryan Mallett.So far 3 picks, and 3 new legit starters. great draft so far.
These Mallet rumors are heating up. Not sure I like that, but will ride it out with BOB I guess.
He's definitely not Gronk. LOL. More like David LaFleur if you remember him. He can become a pro bowler tight end in the NFL if he lives up to his potential and stays healthy. I'm knocking on wood here.He is getting compared to Gronk but I think he is a bit more like Heath Miller from the Steelers.
Because NE took Garappolo ( BOB's choice ), Texans took TE Fiedorowicz ( Belichicks choice )
C.J. Fiedorowicz is a big body target with excellent hands. If he wants to be he can become one of the best tight ends in the AFC, if not the entire league, in a couple of years. It all depends on what his work ethic is like. The raw talent is undeniable. He can also block pretty good from what I'm seeing on game tape at the moment.Because NE took Garappolo ( BOB's choice ), Texans took TE Fiedorowicz ( Belichicks choice )
Payback *itch!
I didn't think Gronk and CJ were similar either, but there actually are. Same size, same speed, same athleticism, both good blockers and pass catchers. Hopefully he becomes as good a pro as Gronk minus the injuries....He is getting compared to Gronk but I think he is a bit more like Heath Miller from the Steelers.
when you have a big fat transparent need you need to move up and take your QB...you can't wait for a good one to drop. Everyone thinking they might want one will just move right in front of you. If the Texans were thinking they would wait and their guy would fall to them they were fools....if they didn't like the value and could stay away I'm ok with that.Maybe he'll be good, but I do think we had more pressing needs. Moreso angry that the Patriots sniped Garoppolo. Because the Patriots are cocksuckers and that it was entirely predictable.
Better not trade for Mallett. The Patriots aren't going to just give us someone who's good. Draft a damn QB and that's it.
Agree completely. I feel like we've tried to get cute and get good value at a position of need. Unfortunately that position of need just so happens to be the most important position and we're now left hoping for good value from future backups. There were probably 2-3 eventual starters in this draft and we missed out on all of them.when you have a big fat transparent need you need to move up and take your QB...you can't wait for a good one to drop.

I think that's fair.He is getting compared to Gronk but I think he is a bit more like Heath Miller from the Steelers.
