I'm still trying to figure out who he is going to throw the ball to.
Let me be the first to offer them Reche Caldwell and Kelvin Kight vs. their 2nd-round pick.
Then the Patriots shall have lapped the entire first-day draft.

Brandon Jones had 27 catches for 384 yards last year and and Courtney robey had 2 catches for 28 yards. So if they are expecting those two to anchor their wide receiving core, then yes, it is going to be an issue.
Even if Davis is a steal you can't expect a late round WR (or any WR for that matter) to come right in their rookie year and be 1 or 2 receiver. It can happen, but banking on it happening is not a good plan. Paul Williams and Chris Davis are two good rookie receivers but in all liklihood they aren't going to help them a heck of a lot this year.
Why do people insist on reading so far into what is said and making things up that weren't.
1) Brandon Jones and Roby were the 4th and 5th receivers last year. But they were on the team and should be expected to step it up another notch.
2) I said I felt that Chris Davis was a steal. In other words, he'll help. I don't believe that Williams will help because he wants to be a CB in the NFL, not a receiver. But it will be interesting to see where he lines up.
3) Justin Gage is replacing Bobby Wade. Gage should be the #2 receiver to Givens being the #1.
4) While at Texas, Vince Young's primary receiver was David Thomas, a TE. I fully expect Scaife and Troupe to be bigger factors in the offense with Young a QB. This will help take priority off the receivers.
5) Their receiving game is going to be hard-pressed because of their lack of running game more than the lack of receivers. Unless they sign someone or pull off a trade, they are hurting in that department. Especially if the Pats pull off a coup by getting Brown. That wouldn't leave much in the way of RB options for the Titans.
