Why do you think Patriots went 2 TE set this year after getting beat by the Broncos in the playoffs. To stop the edge rushers like Miller & Ware. Staying ahead of the game as always Bill.  Should have drafted Hunter Henry

"Limited upside as a run-blocker. Does much better on the move than head-up with defensive ends."

WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal bulk and muscle tone for the position and is still growing into his body. Struggles to establish body position as a blocker and ends up going where the defender wants. Too easily overmatched at the point of attack, struggling to sustain or control blocks.

 

Grabby and wild in pass protection and has too many snaps on his film that will be penalized in the NFL. Only nine career touchdowns, wasn't used as consistent red-zone threat.

 

IN OUR VIEW: Henry was an ideal fit for the Razorbacks' multiple-tight end offense with pro-style looks that asked him to line up inline, wing and in the slot. Henry has reliable hands (didn't have a drop in 2015) with fluid body adjustments to catch the ball in stride and track the ball into his mitts. He is a competitive blocker, but too easily overpowered at the point of attack, leading to him getting beat or penalized.

 

Although he's not a reliable inline blocker at this point in his development, Henry has the best hands and route running athleticism of any tight end in this draft class, projecting as a Day Two "F" or joker tight end prospect"

Edge defender could mean a lot of things including how he holds up against the run, so I'm not sure how to interpret this but at this point it sounds like Oher won't be cleared in time for Sunday and is possibly even mulling retirement based on recent tweets.

Edge defender is what PFF uses to group all 4-3 DE's and 3-4 OLB's(basically pass rushers) together with and yes the overall grade, which this is, does include their run defense.

So um about that ranking..

Didn't even know he was on the field today. Great stuff from the line today to allow only 1 sack, but also Cam was stepping up in the pocket very well. Cardinals pass rush killed the Hawks on Monday so was good to see us neutralize it. Granted, the Hawks line is truly horrible.
