To say we need a deep threat doesn't tell the story. What is really needed is a complete WR who can win at all levels of the field in multiple ways. Including getting separation over the middle and at the sideline at intermediate range while able to pull in acrobatic catches. And of course able to win deep with speed and athleticism or size and athleticism or both. I have confidence both Kenbrell and Dobson have the raw talent to become that. The patriots need to give them reps in practice more often and challenge the guys in our top flight secondary like Revis Ryan McCourty Dennard and soon Browner( I know sounds awesome doesn't it) with big plays at intermediate and deep range and then try it more often in games with them as they are our biggest fastest Athletes at WR. Coaching needs to find out if they have the complete/deep threat big play WR that can consistently make plays. If Kenbrell and or Dobson can be those guys. Til they find that WR the offense is going to struggle against better defenses and the playoffs.
While I'm confident Kenbrell and Dobson can be and its still early in their career they have yet to step up. And if they are thinking Superbowl they need that WR. Unless Kenbrell or Dobson has proven it then they can't have enough prospects who can be that complete big play WR in my opinion. In the event Kenbrell or Dobson doesn't step up over next several weeks, coaching needs to begin looking at some trade options. Emmanuel Sanders had a 100 yard game already and came comes in the other. I thought he would connect better with Manning or Brady. The whole NFL has been waiting for him to break out, the guy has it all, about 6'0 blazing speed and sharp cuts, acrobatic athleticism and good hands. Patriots should have made a run at him instead of LA"Loser Lafail. Oh well he is a bronco now, so scratch that idea.
To trade for a WR they must first look who is available or could be made available. Just a toying idea to begin with, Blackmon could become available. With new Drug policy he could get reinstated this year. If he does Jaguars will surely trade him now that they have 3 very talented rookie WRs. Patriots disciplined system can help him keep straight and focused on some winning football while he helps team with being a complete big play WR they need. Another option Denarius Moore, Sterling Sharpe firmly believes in a good system with a good QB he would be an elite explosive playmaker. He has been right bout many WR breakouts including Brandon Marshall, Antonio Brown, Rice back in 2009, and Jordy Nelson and was first to say Victor Cruz's big preseason was no fluke. Watch Denarius Moore Highlights and you will see why Sharp is excited bout his talent. They could also get him with a Round 4 pick at the most. If cardinals drop from contention Fitzgerald could become available if he takes a pay cut.Same can be said for Andre Johnson. Jaguars may even part with one of their young WRs but not likely and it would take a strong offer like a pick and young prospect like Zach Moore or Buchanan. Arrelious Benn is available but he may not be same since his injury. He was cut by WR loaded eagles. Anybody out there have any ideas who could become available. However it would be better if Kenbrell or Dobson stepped up consistently. Just think they need a back up plan so they don't go into the playoffs without that established big play WR.
