Gronk favoring his bad knee and James White getting 1st-team reps at RB

[stonewall 647]

Camp reporter claims that Gronk is running with a "decent limp". Worth noting and considering to those planning on burning an early pick on him.

Also of note...James White has been getting some first team reps at RB ahead of Ridley:

Gronk may not play week 1. I can't understand why people are going to spend their early pick on him. He shredded his knee. Had a bad back and forearm.

 

For me he represents a 6th or 7th round value since he's a huge risk to offer nothing.

Yeah he is not a high pick , he can't stay healthy

On my DND list. People are chasing his 2011 numbers, which will never happen again.

An advantage of a late draft. If he's still gimpy he'll be down to a 5th/6th rounder by Labor Day, like he was last year, at which point you can much more easily measure whether he's worth an investment.
