PATRIOTS-80

one of JoeSixPat's thing against Welker is that he is not a deep homerun stretch.

But in '05, he averaged 15 yards a catch. It dropped drastically last year, but I don't think that's Welker's fault when you have Culpepper, Lemon and Harrington throwing at you. They s*cked. LOL

No don't do it... but if BB & SP pull the trigger who are a bunch of pathetic mortals such as ourselves to question them...

Yes.

Draft picks (both the pick and the player) are often overrated. Would we be able to get a receiver at pick 60 who is likely to be as productive as Welker? I doubt it. Could we hit on a Branch or a Boldin? Possibly, but far less likely, imo.

also Welker had 2 or 3 retards throwing him the ball last year

we have TOM BRADY

i think he'd do a little better here.

Right. If this was a Patriot who had 67 catches the year before (and was a great special teamer... think a young Troy Brown), you guys would be going ballistic if we lost him for a 2nd round pick.

No one who's around at 60 is going to catch 60 balls next year.

By the way, this is all great in theory... but even if the Patriots sign Welker to an offer sheet (hasn't even happened yet), the Dolphins still get a chance to match. Unless the Patriots use poison pill provisions to pick him up, I don't think Welker will be a Patriot.

He can kick field goals for us if need be. Now that's Patriot versatility!

He is probably worth it, as he will most likely produce more than second round guy for next year or two, but will be more expensive and the worst part is it will take a pick away from our draft day viewing.......every time your team comes up to pick on Day 1 is one of the great joys of life...Do we have to give up this year's number 2 or next year's? If it was next year's I would do it, but I would rather they get an Eric Moulds for a year, without giving up any picks....and trade down at 24 or 28 and take a WR early in second round....Sidney Rice!!!

Welker is a much better KR than you give him credit for. The Dolphins kick return blocking was bad.

Also, why do you think that Welker's receiving skills are limited? He had 687 yards on 67 receptions with 285 yards coming after the catch (that's 41% of his yards after the catch). I think that Welker's has very good hands and is the type of player that Troy Brown was back in 2001.

Welker was the target of passes 100 times last year and caught 67 of them. Now, he did have 4 drops. But he didn't fumble at all.

I'm gonna say "No" for now, but if they do it, I'll be just fine with it...if that makes any sense.

I do not think Welker is worth a 2nd. However it is addition by subtraction in that we take a weapon away from Miami that we have had some trouble with.
