Chad Jackson is the “heir apparent” to Stallworth’s position in the WR ranks. He’s been mostly out of commission for the past 2 years due to injuries, but he seems to be back. He’ll be one of the guys I’m keeping an eye on during training camp. That position, if used the way Stallworth was used, requires some meat on your bones as those guys are like RBs post catch. They can dish out some stuff and break tackles. Wes is a little guy and will tend to drop before he gets crushed.

In my mind, Gaffney is more of a specialized receiver and a “secret weapon”, if you will. He’s great on toe nail scraping catches on the sidelines and in the endzone. I would project Welker to stay in the slot and underneath; he was soooo successful at it in 2007, but you never know. Belichick could have a bunch of stuff up his sleeve; there’s been so much film on these guys he may decide to shake it up a bit.
