Oh yea never.
Also I'm giving Gronkowski an edge because of his arm length and blocking upside, Pita's arm length all but assures he'll never be a full time TE, maybe a flex type.

I'm going to disagree with you on Pitta. The 3/4" that he's short on his arm length (33" being the "standard") isn't going to hurt him as he has a long torso and has the intangibles and instincts in the receiving game to make up for the minimal physical shortcoming.
I just think that Gronkowski's injury history and his unwillingness to participate in the combine is going to hurt him, especially in this incredibly deep and talented tight end class. Everyone talks about the depth of safeties, but this TE class is insane. I'm so glad we traded a pick away for O'Connell last year and Carl thought that taking Cottam in the third was a good idea.
