Default Reiss Blog: Patriots to meet with WR Wes Welker

Continuing with their aggressive approach in free agency that already landed linebacker Adalius Thomas and tight end Kyle Brady, the Patriots are now expected to court restricted free agent receiver Wes Welker.

Welker enters his fourth season in 2007, having played his first three seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He was tendered a one-year, $1.3 million contract by Miami.

If the Patriots sign him to an offer sheet, and the Dolphins elect not to match it, the team would have to surrender a second-round draft choice.

Welker totaled a career-high 67 catches for 687 yards last season. He had nine catches for 77 yards against the Patriots on Oct. 8.
Wow would they really consider giving up a second round pick for Welker?
Is he worth that much?

I like Welker but am not thrilled at the price of a #2 pick.

I'm not going to second guess anything BB or Pioli do, but I don't know if he's worth a 2nd rounder. (Is that second guessing?)

Wesley Walker? Man, I thought he retired from the Jets years ago. (kidding, look at your thread title)

Welker would be okay. Pretty good slot receiver replacement for Brown and great special teams guy.

So the pats give the Phins a second round draft pick. They then look at the draft landscape, knowing that they have filled two immediate needs and if the right player(s) aren't there in round 1, they parlay one of the 1st round picks into the second round and future picks. I like it.

To give up a second is huge, especially with the strength of this draft. This may be an indication that they are more than likely going to trade out of the #28 spot to get a second that they will have to give up in order to get Welker.
