In six months, anyone who says they still wouldn’t trade a second round draft pick for Wes Welker will probably just be lying through their teeth. Welker looks like he’s been playing in this offense for years. He’s just a perfect fit for this team. There’s no other way to say it.
Wes Welker, Willie Andrews, Jonathan Smith, Sammy Morris, Bam Childress and Kevin Faulk all took turns returning kickoffs. Welker looked extremely quick in the open field, while Morris continues to wear a red non-contact jersey.
After a couple of practices, if I were to give out an MVP it would easily go to Wes Welker. I didn’t mind the Welker trade when it happened but I must admit, I did raise an eyebrow when I heard a second round pick was involved. However, now looking back at the draft and seeing Welker in person, I’m laughing at myself. I’ll make Patriots fans a promise. As soon as Welker drops a pass I’ll blog about it. Although, I wouldn’t be sitting by my computer holding my breath if I were you. This guy catches everything thrown his way. With Randy Moss, Donte’ Stallworth and Ben Watson occupying defenders down the field, Welker is going to eat opposing defenses alive underneath. Just watching him work with Brady, there’s no doubt in my mind that Welker is a perfect fit for the Patriots system and will have a big year in this offense. I know it’s extremely early but if Welker plays half as well as he practices, the people who complained about giving up a second round pick for the versatile receiver will all be having a good laugh about that by Week 6.

I was as skeptical as anyone about the Welker trade, but reading this stuff even I am getting excited. He is getting raving reviews from Casale, but we all know what some people around here think of him. But I think it is something worth posting.
