With their best blocking tight end (Daniel Graham) leaving via free agency, the Patriots acted quickly by signing 35-year-old veteran Kyle Brady, who is considered a top blocker even at this stage of his career. Last year, the Patriots featured a lot of two-tight end sets to get Graham and Ben Watson - both former first-round draft choices - on the field at the same time. That figures to change, with perhaps more of an emphasis on three-wide sets in which Watson (pictured) would be the lone tight end, taking advantage of his speed down the middle of the field. While Watson and Brady top the depth chart, second-year player David Thomas arguably has the best hands of the bunch. Sixth-year veteran Marcellus Rivers adds depth.
