I will be very shocked if Miami matches the offer.. So Im assuming Welker is a Pat.. With that said, would you think he is more of a replacement for Brown, who might be done now.. Or is he signed to be a .. gulp ... number 1 reciever... He is a great all around player, but he is not a number 1 reciever, and it still does not solve the problem of stretching the defense... Still I guess the last few second round picks.. Marquies Hill, Chad Jackson, Bethal Johnson, Adrian Klemm... He is worth it , espically in the late second round..

Again we do need 1 more Vet WR and a draft pick...

Deion Branch, Matt Light, and even Eugene Wilson wave Hi as well.

Why do we need someone to stretch the field? I don't understand why that has become such a hot notion this off-season, but we dont need someone to stretch the field, just someone who is a threat to catch the ball and get open consistently. Welker will do that. Have we ever had a guy that stretches the field during our run? And no, Branch doesnt count.

he may be browns replacement but I still hope Brown comes back for one more I think there is room for him Caldwell Welker Gafney Brown hopeful of a day one WR and Chad jack despite the promising news could start on pup.

Good point...."speed-burner" and "stretch- the-field",have become fantasy football cliches.

You stretch the field by catching the ball and by yards after catch......like Wes Welker,by the way.

We did manage to win 3 Superbowls while keeping the field the same size.

Unless you think Branch is faster than Caldwell and Gaffney, which he is not.

I posted this in another Welker thread:

"Some people say that Welker is only a YAC-guy, and not a deep threat as if that is a bad thing. I have some news for you, fellas, Deion Branch wasn't a deep threat either, he was very much a YAC-guy. Rarely was Branch called to run a 60 yard post or go deep (not saying it didn't happen, 'cause it did, but that's not what Branch was good at), he could catch a ten to twenty yard pass and make it a 30 yarder with some nifty shake and bake after the catch. Welker is going to be able to do the same, with just as much ability as Branch to occasionally go 60 yards. He's a good receiver and definitely worth the second rounder *(I also think that the 38.5 million dollar contract is misleading). Make no mistake about it, Welker isn't here to replace a third receiver like Troy (God Love 'Im), he'll be here to replace Deion."

Is Wes Welker worth a 2nd round pick?

Or by creating mis matches and sending multiple receivers including TEs, full backs, RBs as well as receivers.
