Edelman is not a proven "X" wide receiver. Edelman was also on the roster last season.IMHO, we have about the same basic components as last year.
A) Edelman is as good as Lloyd.
The New England Patriots are down to Sudfeld and Hoomanawanui at the tight end position for the interim.B) We had one pro-level TE in 2012, except for three games.
Thompkins needs to replace Brandon Lloyd's production not Deion Branch. Dobson or Boyce need to replace Deion Branch's production.D) This year's Thompkins will likely produce more than last year's Branch. And that doesn't count on any production at all from Dobson and Boyce. This is unproven talent. However, Branch didn't exactly produce at a pro-level last year.
