News Blitz 4/25: Gronk confirms his return

Patriots fans received some good news on Tuesday when Rob Gronkowski posted a message on his Instagram account indicating that he met with Bill Belichick and intends to play for the team in 2018.
ESPN.com believes that news timely in that it provided the team some clarity heading into the draft.
MassLive.com disagrees and feels the team should still look at tight ends.
The Patriots most pressing draft need might very well be left tackle but there’s a pretty good chance the team won’t be able to immediately fill it this week, at least according to ESPN.com.
Focusing on tackles, ESPN.com reports the draft offers few options at that spot despite the Patriots notable void in the wake of Nate Solder’s departure.
New England doesn’t appear to have many options to fill the need for a pass rusher either.
The Boston Globe offers some guesses as to how the Patriots will handle the draft.
Boston.com offers a draft primer for the weekend.
The Boston Herald likes Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell for the Patriots.
According to Boston Sports Journal, complaints about the Patriots environment are nothing new.
