Vincent Jackson is a beast and an a-hole.

Just about our guys.
They are all trained under Curtis Johnson, one of the best WR coaches in the game. His contract also ends next year. So we are not going to be able to afford to keep all of these guys. Johnsons already receiving college coaching jobs.
New Orleans Saints: Curtis Johnson

We will probably sign one of these guys, but we can't sign both, and if we have to lose one I wouldn't mind them going to the Pats. I know they would fit in just fine there.

WR Marques Colston
Marques Colston*|*Hofstra,*WR*:*2006 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile
Colstons actually 6ft 5 not 6ft 4, same as Graham is reported as 6ft 6 and really 6ft 7, its reported wrong and we don't report it correctly either
Colstons in his prime, he's a #1 receiver with 4.4 speed, and can catch the most difficult passes imaginable, its the simple ones he misses once or 2x a season.
Colston, is an unknown monster to cover. Perfect ball security, never open his mouth or taunts, The NFL players rated him very high even though he's not covered much by media, and does 1000 yards every year.
He caught 2 vs Revis for 33 yards , in revises prime, but he was only thrown to 2x.
2010 New Orleans Saints Yearbook: Marques Colston - YouTube

Marques Colston is the TRUTH!!!!!! - YouTube

WR Robert Meachem
*Robert Meachem*|*Tennessee,*WR*:*2007 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Meachum, is showing a 4.39 in the 40 at the columbine, but peyton knew he ran a 4.20 in college, and when we tested him in camp, he did it again. Its why he always runs the reverse for us, he's fast.
He's one of the fastest unknown WR in the game. He's 6'2 but his vertical was higher than colstons at 37 1/2. Drafted in 2007 he's just reaching his prime. Meachum never quits a play, even if intercepted, and he's the 2nd best route runner after Lance Moore.

Either of these guys are capable of being a #1 WR for any team. Meachum hungers for the ball while Colston can catch any gad awful thing you throw at him. Neither are afraid of being hit, Hope that helps

Per KFFL, most of the restricted and unrestricted free agent WR's for 2012 (besides NE)

I'm rooting for Reggie Wayne. Would solve so many issues if the money is right.
thing is Reggie wayne will be 34 pretty soon. Seems like the type of short term quick fix that will leave us in the same position after a season or two.

The bolded are probably the two I want the Pats to go after most and both could come at reasonable prices. The depth at WR in this years draft is crazy though so I would rather adress it with the 32nd pick or the first second rounder.

Vincent Jackson would be my first target, but the potential new regime in San Diego might pay him. This free agency is deep at WR. Good thing since the Pats will need two or three . assume they franchise Welker and Branch may walk. The only way I see them keeping Branch is if he signs for the veteran minimum and accepts a reduced role. He might do it.

Slim pickings....

Other than Colston (who's got bad knees and would need a very thorough exam), and possibly Bowe, there's nobody really worth getting on the market right now. Jackson and Jackson are both million dollar body/ten cent head type players, and I don't see BB thinking they are risks he wants to take.

Colston
Cotchery
Manningham
Meachem

Devin Thomas/Early Doucet as a possible younger choice would be fine too

Any other WR is not a good fit, in my opinion

Bowe excelled in the Weis/NEP offense. He might cost too much.

Wes Welker deserves a pay day. I hope the NEP give him a fair deal.

Lloyd is obviously the best choice, just wonder what his price tag is.

It all depends on Branch's status next offseason IMO. If the guy has another season(s) at the level he's playing, no reason to pay up for another WR. With Gronk, Hernandez, and our RB's, the #3 WR on this team is not going to be an important position.

Of course this is assuming that Welker will be kept. If he's somehow not retained, we'd have to go hard after Lloyd IMO

Im don't know the true story obviously, but we have heard is Colstons has no problem with his knees. He had a problem with his left biceps femosis. Not sure if thats fixed yet. But the heart is just fine Colstons sure money for production, Id be surprised if we don't sign him instead of Meachum, problem is Meachum doesn't have the same catch ability , but he's way more dangerous after he gets the ball.
