Another Gronkowski makes his way into the NFL, and the Eagles would love to bring him on board here. Backfield depth is crucial for the Eagles, and it may be even more crucial than most think. The current ball carriers on the roster are nothing close to reliable, and one of them could even be moved over the weekend. We’ll save the fireworks, though, as there have been enough already in this mock draft. The bottom line is, the Eagles signed a former linebacker to play fullback in Pederson’s new scheme. Adding some competition in the form of Glenn Gronkowski would not be the worst idea.
