Watson continues to improve
By Len Pasquarelli

Given that the New England Patriots have acquired four veteran wide receivers in the offseason via either trade or free agency -- Randy Moss (from Oakland), Wes Welker (Miami), Donte' Stallworth (Philadelphia) and Kelley Washington (Cincinnati) -- considerable focus has been directed toward the remaking of the depth chart at the once deficient position.
And if opponents pay as much attention to New England's wideouts in 2007, as the media has this spring, the player who might benefit the most from the Patriots' revamped receiver situation is veteran tight end Benjamin Watson.
Entering his fourth season, and coming off a campaign in which his 49 catches were not only a career high but also the most by a Patriots' tight end during coach Bill Belichick's tenure with the franchise, it looked during the team's three-day minicamp this week that the 2004 first-rounder is on the cusp of a breakout season.
