The New England Patriots just traded up to snag Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at the 28th spot in the first round. Now eyes are turning to tight ends for later picks, and George's Oscar delp is making noise by posting a photo of himself in a Patriots jersey on his Instagram Story this Thursday. He'll put up solid numbers last season with 20 catches for 261 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs. Over four years at Georgia, he's racked up 70 receptions, 854 yards and 9 scores total. Patriots fans are buzzing about the need to tight end, especially with 31-year-old Hunter Henry as the starter and veteran Austin Hooper gone in free agency.

The team might grab him on day two or three.
