I really think that Anthony Gonzales will be an all pro WR. I hope he makes it to us with the 28th pick

I don't know if he'll be an all pro, but I'm right there with you on taking him at No. 28.

I don't think he will be an all pro or we should take him at 28.

I really like this player. In fact, in the PFW draft guide he is listed as a good fit for the Patriots.

it would be great if Willis could drop below #15 and we found a team to trade 24 & 28 for Willis and a mid 2nd. Then take Gonzales with the mid sedond rounder.

That works for me too.

If we sign another FA WR, and it looks like we're trying, there isn't room for a draftee. We typically had 5 last year - Caldwell, Gaffney, Welker, Jackson, new guy. That's 5 and doesn't even include Troy Brown who may or may not retire. Even if Jackson is PUPed, most think he's not out for the year.

that is true. but there have been times when we have carried six. and, we maybe looking for one who can stretch the field to clear out for the underneath guys. not sure if gonzalez is that kind of guy although he has the speed. he certainly won't quit on a route even if he knows the ball is going to someone else. he see's the big picture.

I don't like the line of thinking of not drafting/signing guys because there isn't room. There's ALWAYS room. If somebody comes along who's better than Jabbar Gaffney, Chad Jackson, or Reche Caldwell, then they take their jobs. It makes no sense to not draft/sign a WR because there's no room, and potentially ignoring guys that might be an improvement. That goes for every position. I'd like to have 90 guys in training camp competing for 61 spots. I don't care if the other 29 guys go to the Jets. I hope they all do, we'll know that we're the better team.

Plus, it allows us to trade guys such as Matt Cassell (7th round pick) or Wesley Britt (free agent signing) and get future draft picks. Cashing in on investments.

And with Gaffney and Caldwell in the last year of their contracts, I'm not about to pass on a prospect I really like on their behalfs.

There's a chance we could keep 6, with Gaffney and Caldwell both UFA at the end of the year. But you have to look at it as a factor. We aren't taking a TE now with Watson, Thomas, Brady. We just aren't.
