Asiasi is the first tight end the Patriots have drafted in a while.
Believe it or not, the Patriots haven’t selected a tight end in the draft since Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez were brought to New England in 2010. That’s a very large gap, but it was understandable because Gronkowski performed at such a high level. With Asiasi being the next guy, he will have some big shoes to fill. No one expects him to be Gronk, but he should at least a serviceable tight end in the NFL.
