Ahead of Gronk. Let's also not forget that his biggest weakness right now is blocking and if there's one thing this staff loves, it's blocking. From all positions.

If Marrone and Coughlin can completely change their mentality (which I'm hoping), to allow more TE movement, then he has a shot.

Right. That's why I said 500 was a much more reasonable expectation if he gets a high volume of targets. And why I hinted it would not reach the # suggested by the other poster. I'd be pleasantly shocked if he eclipsed 550 as a rook. 

Regarding the offensive "mentality" -  fear not.  
I don't think they paired DeFilippo and Foles together just to handcuff them. Flip has already expressed his intention to line up Oliver "all over the place." 
They didn't target the most "move TE-type-of-prospect" that was left on the board in round three just to line him up next to a tackle all the time.
