delfamdelfam Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 should be drafted? Aaron Hernandez is having a really good preseason and Gronkowski seems to be invisible. Both seem like they can be had in the 12th round, so with about the same ADP, which is better to have? Hernandez seems the better talent, but Gronk just seems to get it done.

Shotgun Messiahs Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think you should go with the one that gets open down the field. That's the way it looked last year. But Gronkowski got more looks in the endzone last year and is listed first on the depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both going to get thrown to and you will never be able to pick which one will have the better week. I would avoid both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 this is almost as silly as asking what NE RB should you own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip's Invitation Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Like most TE's Gronkowski is heavily dependent on TDs for his value. And those aren't consistent from year to year. Hernandez, however, is used more like a WR and has the potential to be one of the few that is worth owning and starting regardless of whether he's getting thrown to in the end zone or not.

Brentastic Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I personally think Hernandez is the guy to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hernandez was limited very much by his hip injury last year. That's why after getting off to a great start he pretty much disappeared and Gronkowski got the limelight. After years of doggedly drafting TEs, Belichick struck gold twice in one year. Flip a coin, but Hernandez is the more natural pass catcher of the two, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 A situation like this, where you can't figure out who among solid TEs or who among the WRs are worth taking, knowing they're all likely going to put up nice numbers but you just don't know who reminds me exactly which QB is the guy I'd be willing to take earlier or for more money than I'd usually be willing to at that position. It really seems like the NE passing game is going to be great this year and there's only one guy in that group who is assured of being a stud. Hardly going out on a limb here, but Brady is easily my #1 QB this year. I hate NE and am not looking forward to how good they're going to be this year.

efi4eye Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) I dunno... I honestly don't see how you could pass on Gronkowski and pick Hernandez. Gronkowski is clearly more of a red zone target, and had some decent yardage games too. Brady has so many targets between the 20s, Gronkowski looks like one of the only real red zone guys Edited August 21, 2011 by efi4eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturphy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Living up here in the Northeast, I've been subjected to constant Pats coverage and games. No Sunday Ticket here, so I've watched the Pats a lot and I'm not a fan of the team. Makes me more of an objective observer? Anywho, I agree with the earlier comments about Hernandez in more of a WR role. What I saw in Hernandez last season was a really large WR that could create space after the catch. He's got this wicked stutter step... I guess you'd call it.. and he uses it right after he catches the ball to create space and run. I was much more excited about his upside after last season than Gronk, and I feel like Brady went to Gronk more near the end of the season because Hernandez was injured.

Bronco Billy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I see both guys outperforming their ADPs given the mismatches both create and the way NE targets weakness in an opposing D, but I think with Henandez you're going to get big games and then some insignificant games. Gronk seems to be warming to being Brady's safety net, which would make him the more consistent guy. I think you could use Gronk as a low end TE1 whereas Hernandez is someone you use as a TEBC and play matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit of leagues Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 you cant go wrong with either, tom brady will get anybody the ball if they are open and we have seen that, i personally would go Hernandez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
