The issue with a receiver like Lloyd, and for that matter Ochocinco, is that this is a very complex offense for a receiver.
Brady has been in it his entire career. Branch is in his sixth year in it. Welker is in his fifth year in it. We have seen a number of receivers join the team who really struggled to pick it up. Moss was effective immediately, but many others could not succeed in it - Ochocinco, Galloway, Doug Gabriel, Andre Davis, etc.
I think the risk with Lloyd is that he would struggle the same as other vets.
Similarly LB is a difficult role in this defense, with the same story. The risk would be similar picking up a linebacker. Whereas I think RB & DE are easier positions in the Pats offense and defense.
