5. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have a Gronk-shaped vacancy in their tight end room. One that Ben Watson and Matt LaCosse failed to fill last season, and one that Dalton Keene probably won’t be able to fill on his own. 

That’s where Hunter Henry comes in. No, Henry isn’t as good as Rob Gronkowski in his prime. But he is an athletic tight end who excels as a pass-catcher, fitting the bill of the kind of player that the Patriots would love to get their hands on.

Not only would Henry fill a roster need for New England in 2021, but he would be a scheme-fit as well. Despite what 2019 looked like, the Patriots are at their best when their offense has a great tight end to rely on in the passing game. Hunter Henry could be that great tight end for whoever the Patriots quarterback will be in 2021.
