I share your thoughts on this and I'd have no problems should the Pats draft a day 1 receiver. If for some reason we were to lose Moss or Welker to an injury next season - think of all the big hits Welker took this year - I'm not all that confident Aiken or Gaffney are capable of putting up similar production given that opposing defenses and secondaries have less to contend with in a Moss-less or Welker-less offense.
Also, unless he's being sarcastic, I agree with PJ. I'd love to see Branch back here in a heartbeat if he's released from Seattle.
Lastly, I'm not sure where people came up with "Stallworth was benched in favor of Gaffney" idea.
Gaffney took over as the starter in the middle of the season. "Benched" in this case, doesn't mean that Stallworth never saw the field again.
