Patriots draft TE, unlikely to want Olsen

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- It was a long shot, but any chance the Chicago Bears had to deal Greg Olsen to New England vanished when the Patriots moved up to take Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski at No. 42.

Sitting with three second-round picks at the beginning of the round -- not to mention a major need at tight end -- the Patriots appeared to be a logical destination for Olsen. That's now history.

Gronkowski, who's drawn comparisons to Baltimore's Todd Heap, slid to the second-round because of concerns over his back.
