There is no way Edelman is going any where. Give the guy a full season on d and I bet he would easily earn his keep. don't even consider him as taking an offensive spot, he is one player filling three spots, and he fills them competently. Did I mention the nasty streak? he isn't exactly role model material but he is a football player, and he hates to lose.
I don't see how the patriots don't sign Lloyd, hopefully nobody throws stupid money at him. That's the only way it doesn't happen from what I can tell. Although I think the resources may be better served on the defense in general or the offensive line.
Ocho/Branch/Underwood/Slater(if secondary gets a serious injection of draft help) are all in some serious trouble if Lloyd comes to town. If BB/McD can hit on a deep threat in the draft then they may all be gone...which reminds me, what is Ocho's cap hit if we do can/trade him? Didn't he just take a pay cut? Surely someone might throw a fifth or sixth our way when he goes off against some scrubs in pre-season.
All this talk of receivers is pointless though. Offense wins games, defense wins championships. Two firsts, again. I would hope we make a move for an impact front seven. Wilford/Mayo are the only real players that I wouldn't say are upgradeable. every position, with the exception of the two mentioned, can, and need to be addressed. who is playing safety if Chung and McC go down? Would it really matter at that point?
