New England is always a candidate to move up and down the draft board. They opt to stay here and take a player that will have great impact in the future.
The Patriots have the greatest tight end of all time in Rob Gronkowski. His time may be coming to an end soon, with his ambitions to be a WWE wrestler/actor becoming more and more public. The Patriots must look for his replacement ASAP.
Hayden Hurst can run, catch and block well enough to play right away. The team runs many two-tight-end sets, so he will get a chance to shine early. (Justin)
Previous Pick: James Daniels
Torrey Smith was traded to the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason and Nelson Agholor is more of a slot receiver. Picking up Sutton is a luxury pick for the Eagles due to their strength at many positions, but he can also be another big weapon for one of the league’s best offenses.
At 6-foot-4, Sutton can be another big threat on the outside opposite of Alshon Jeffery, giving Carson Wentz a wealth of dangerous options.
