| Tom Brady and Bill Belichick get most of the credit for the Pats dynasty, but what about Gronk? How many Super Bowls would the Pats have won since 2011 without him?

| The Pats don't pick until the end of the first round, and Ryan Wilson's sure both Iowa star TEs will be gone by then, so how will they replace Gronk?

Hockenson is, but he's just as dynamic) and check out the three QBs that go top 10. |

| Chris Trapasso says that while it's always good practice to add a tenth of a second onto any reported pro day 40 times, the rest of the figures are usually pretty accurate. With that in mind, Chris sized up what's recently happened for all the top prospects, and you should check out who's moved in his top 100 (one DT even fell out of his top 10). |

| Say what you want about Johnny Manziel, but excitement seems to follow him ... even when he's not playing.
