so, he definitely provides a deep threat to the team
Sure, of course. But if you have a five-wide set and your fifth guy is Edelman, you can keep an extra defender inside the hashes to shadow Gronk/Welker etc., and leave a corner to deal with Edelman one on one. But if the guy out there is Jarius Wright or Tommy Streeter, you have to be a little more conservative.
We have 4 guys competing for 3 spots:
Edelman - I could see him not making the team. Sure he has versatility but we already have a jack of all trades in Slater and he's underwhelming as a WR.
Gonzalez - could be our new #3 could be cut in camp. Anybody here his contract numbers yet.
Ocho - could be our new #3 could be cut in camp. I like his personality and am pulling for the guy but not holding my breath.
Underwood - Competing w/ above for a roster spot
Branch - I don't think we bring him to camp. Either he signs elsewhere or stays a phone call away. He knows the offense and has a good connection with Brady already. Also gives us time to evaluate the above guys.
I don't like what I see when it comes to the return game.
Are we really strategizing about the impact of the 5th best receiver in a 5 receiver set?
I also think Brandon Spikes is going to leave as soon as he can
Draft Tommy Streeter in the 3rd. He's 6-5 and runs a 4.3. That is the type of receiver we need.
I don't think they need to spend a #1 on a guy like Hill. A first-rounder is a guy who you want to play more than 50% of your snaps, and I don't see that happening with Welker, Lloyd, and the TEs in the fold.
Problem. Not a Mensa candidate. Ocho is smarter and could not get this stuff.

Oh, he has less than 50 career catches. Yes, we've all heard about his constraining offense and QB play.
