Who said it has to be an early pick?We need to use those early picks to shore up the lines. Using them on a RB would be maddening.

Yep.Feel like it's sort of like the Harvin deal. Potentially very good, but with issues. Harvin's talent hadn't really seemed to drop off, but he was a bigger head case. Stevie will need to work harder to get where he needs to be, but his problems are likely easier to overcome.
Vereen wasn't an integral, core member of the Patriots. He was a platoon, 3rd down back with pass catching ability. The entire RB brigade could do with an upgrade.Vereen did literally nothing his rookie year. We need someone to contribute immediately.
I think he would probably sign expecting to go gangbusters. If he doesn't, he can only blame himself for his role. I have to believe if he performs up to his talent, he will become a featured player in the offense.Yep.
The other question is how involved in the offense does he expect to be. Between, Jules, Gronk and LaFell thats ~350 targets right there. Figure Amendola will get ~50. Chandler gets 50. Figure 50 for everyone else. Thats ~500 and I'm not even including Dobson bouncing back (maybe).
If Johnson or any FA WR comes here that isn't all-world, he needs to be prepared for about ~50 targets. Unless he goes gangbusters it won't be more than that.
Good discussion.I think he would probably sign expecting to go gangbusters. If he doesn't, he can only blame himself for his role. I have to believe if he performs up to his talent, he will become a featured player in the offense.
All assuming he even signs here I guess we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves...Good discussion.
Here, he will have to earn his reps. They will not be handed to him.

Reggie Bush left New England without an offer per sources. #Patriots
She also reported that Harvin to the Bills wasn't necessarily done and that the 49ers were making a play. Vic Carucci disputed that. If she was wrong on that she might well be wrong about the Bush visit.@deters Reggie Bush left New England without a contract, b/c team plans on trading for Adrian Peterson, per sources. #Patriots
Hey look, i'm now as credible as she is! Hate the "per sources" crap.
