In spite of a free-agent spending spree, the New England Patriots still have needs up and down their roster heading into the NFL Draft. However, one area in which the Patriots are actually fairly set is at tight end.
New England has Hunter Henry as its number one option at the position, and it re-signed Austin Hooper in free agency, giving quarterback Drake Maye a couple of big, reliable targets.
Still, more and more momentum is building toward the Pats potentially selecting a developmental tight end at some point in the draft, as both Henry and Hooper are on the wrong side of 30.
