Cool We are VERY THIN at WR !

Losing Givens will have a great impact on the Pats offense than most realize. The Pats WR corp is thin and could be a challenge within the Pats offense next yr. In a draft year where the WR corp is much thinner in years past, the Pats find themselves in an interesting situation. The UFA list will feature at the top list Randel El, Jurevicious, Bryant & Bruce .. #2WR's mostly #3 type WR's at best except for the first 2 mentioned and Givens of course. Branch is clearly their #1 and with Givens on his way out, and we're assuming feature WR on this team going forward. Dwight & A Davis & T Brown are UFA's and B Johnson is pretty much worthless. I would assume T Brown returns for perhaps his franchise token farewell. Dwight was reliable, productive and efficient when needed will hopefully be back. A Davis never got a serious chance besides a few deep passes toward the end of the season.

Watson & Graham will be solid TE tandem and Watson may emerge as that go to Todd Heap, Alge Crumpler type player. With the question marks in the backfield, C Dillon coming off of a terrible (injury filled yr) and the potential loss of Neal & Ashworth on the line, the lack of WR may stand out more.

It would have been interesting if they did get D Mason in FA last yr. What do you think they will do here?

You're right but . . . no *****. I still want Antonio Bryant unless he's priced out of our market.

i agree id love antonio bryant

as for the draft its not as bad as ppl are saying
the only reason its worse than most yrs, is cuz most yrs there are two or three guys sitting at the top, this yr there are none, but we cant pick that high anyway so it doesnt matter

i love martin nance in the second round
i love greg jennings in the third
i love mike hass in the third or fourth
there are options out there

This is how thin the Pats are at wideout right now.

Deion Branch is the only Patriots wide receiver signed for the 2006 season who caught more than 4 passes in 2005.

Do you think Coach Belichick knows about this too? Someone should definately tell him if he wasn't aware of it!

Ummm..yeah. After looking at our list of WRs, we need to get Givens back here like now. There isn't another WR available that I would rather have. It's time to pay up.
