So, we had a top or at least a high-level returner. Belichick's plans to replace him included an injured player who might be able to contribute by midseason and another rookie who returned some in college. Please, Belichick can do much better than that! Belichick made a snap decision on Hobbs during the draft and most of us have all lived to regret that decision.
IIRC, Butler also returned in college.
It's not like the Pats didn't have plans to replace Hobbs. They just didn't work out.
