Rob Gronkowski has all the tools to be a first round pick and an elite tight end. He is a complete tight end who can help both in the passing and running game. He uses his quickness and fluid hips to run good routes and uses his large hands to catch everything in sight. He is a smart player who understand body control, regularly wins jump balls, and knows how to position himself as a run blocker. However teams will be very concerned about his back injury that required surgery and forced him to miss his entire junior season. The injury is enough of a concern, let alone his inexperience, as he has only played 2 years in college, so he may be a bit rusty coming into camp. Gronkowski is the clear cut #2 tight end after Jermaine Gresham and will be picked in the second or third round.
