5'11'' 186 lbs.
Age: 28
WR Experience: 4 years
We would have to give up a 3rd for him but we will be picking up some extra compensatory picks.
From Scouts: He is a good athlete who shows solid quickness. He is tough and will go inside to catch the ball in traffic. He will give up his body to make a play on the ball. He can play outside or in the slot with three-receiver sets. He shows solid quickness getting in and out of his routes and good build-up speed when tracking the deep ball. He is a smart receiver with a good feel for finding the holes in zone coverage. He shows the ability to make plays after the catch. He can make people miss and shows a burst with the ball in his hands. He also had good awareness and is adept at getting both feet down on the sidelines. He shows the ability to separate on intermediate crossing routes. He is more quick than fast, and does not have great height or size for the position.
Seems like he would fit in well with our offense.
Any reason we need to spend a 3rd? Seems like Gaffney who we already picked up for zilch.

Hopefully this management team learned a lesson last season - to not rely on a rookie WR to produce his first season - and they'll grab themselves a true #1 WR who can get deep and command double teams. Randy Moss would be my hope.The Pats should be agressive in finding a deep threat WR (17 ypc +), but can take their time in looking for more basic veteran depth (10 -13 yards per catch)
Occasionally the draft can provide immediate help at WR but one is best not expecting meaningful contributions from rookie WR for quite some time.
So yes, a deep threat WR should be a priority now.
