WR: Who's the best fit?

moss doesnt get separation though so he seems like a no

1: Moss, if he can do anywhere near what he did in 2007/2008/2009 without the attitude.
2: Wayne, if otherwise, and cost is low enough
3: DSJackson, if he’s willing to behave himself
4: Meachem, simply here because I don’t know about him. Maybe he should be higher or lower, IDK
5: Draft someone, anyone
6: Everyone else is a NO, especially VJackson and Manningham
7: Technically Lloyd is in the top 3, but thats not happening.

Kendall Wright would be a perfect fit for New England IMO.

…I suspect we have the chance to get a less-heralded player like Barndon Lloyd would be a very nice smaller option and an upgrade over Branch with some ability to stretch the field.

And I think we will take a hard look at any of the following in the first two rounds of the draft depending on if they are available – Michael Floyd, Alshon Jeffery, Mohamed Sanu, Huron Criner and Nick Toon

However, this draft is also rather deep when it comes to WR’s – I could also see us looking at WR a bit later like Gerell Robinson or Marvin McNutt to just mention two options.

is Rueben Randle. Why is that? He appears like an option with a late-first or our first second-rounder.

Anyone with a better read on him than I have?

and someone who has worked out with him on the gridiron, I would pick him in a heartbeat. He’s just awesome. He’s taken subpar quarterback play and still had great production. Also, he is a huge threat out of the backfield. This year, not so much, because he only ran the ball 4 times. But the two years prior to that? He had over 300 yards rushing both years on 60 carries for a total of 9 touchdowns. Can you imagine the things McDaniels could do with that? Line up Sanu at quarterback and Hernandez at halfback, and just watch the other teams’ defensive coordinators give up hope. He has a tremendous work ethic, is incredibly down to Earth, and always puts the team first. If he’s still there at 31, I think the Pats should seriously consider using that extra first.

I have a feeling the 49ers are going to draft him, though, so I guess the Pats will just have to get somebody through free agency, and use a 2nd round pick or later.
One of the players I’m pretty high on is Juron Criner. 6-4, 220 or so (he gained weight at the Senior Bowl, but it looked like solid muscle.) and he runs crisp routes. He can be a great acquisition in the third or fourth round, but I think after the combine and his pro day, he’s going to get a boost maybe into the late second round/early-to-mid third round. So, If he’s there at one of the Pats’ picks, and there aren’t any other great picks to take, I’d certainly take him. He was a teammate of Gronkowski at Arizona, too.

Wes Welker is great but he isn’t naturally a great compliment to the 2 TE offense because he works inside the numberswhere the TEs do most of their damage, while not stretch the field so the defense really only has to cover the just inside the numbers (which is still not easy). If we can get 2 speed guys on the outside with the 2 TEs inside we have a dangerously balanced passing game. The defense cannot just neglect the deep ball anymore, and will be forced to cover the entire field and play us straight up. Once that happens that is where this offense starts scoring at least 24 pts on any defense it plays and wen can outscore anyone.

on Mohamed Sanu

the guy plays every snap like his life is on line and he plays physical and delivers crushing blocks while at the same time seemingly being able to stretch the field – that’s a guy I want on my team.

Hoping the BB love for Rutgers-players makes him go in that direction.
