It wouldn't be an economically sound decision to acquire a reciever who will break the bank only to be the 3rd or 4th option. the patriots need have their possession reciever in lloyd, 2 of the best tight ends in football, and the best slot reciever in welker. the pats just need to re sign welker and draft a poor mans torrey smith, someone with the ablility to take the top off a defense. this draftee doesnt even need to exel at the intricate routes in the route tree, he just has to attack the areas of the field that our current set of recievers typically dont.

If Welker goes then Hernandez will more than likely take his short to intermediate crossing routes. The Patriots could also draft Tavon Austin to play the position.
It would be tough to see Welker go as he's been a consummate professional and has produced at a level unseen from slot receivers in the NFL.
I don't think any of these will fit in if Welker stays. My order would be (not taking money into account):
Hartline (had a great year and is an nfl # 2 standard receiver)
DaBruinz sssssssssh!Tavon Austin is likely to be the first WR taken in the draft and taken in the top 15. Pats have less than a 1% chance of getting him..
If it isn't broke, don't fix it:
Wes Welker
Julian Edelman
what happens if welker goes and we get none of the "big name" guys? I think this board would explode
Welker is gone IMO and sticking to it.

Greg Jennings may be worth the look. He's pretty much gone from GB after this season based on the latest rumors, and his recovery from the groin injury seems complete. Plus I don't think he'll command as high a price tag as he did before.
He's a true deep threat and DBs have to pay attention to him. Having him along with Gronk and Hernandez with Lloyd on the other side could be deadly.
Larry Fitzgerald will be in a Patriots uniform sometime in the next 5 years. I'm convinced...
Mallett for Fitz and I am on board instantly. Throw in a conditional pick from NE based on Mallett's production. I know Larry makes some big $$$ though and might make it hard to re-up Wes, but if we could then Tom throwing to Larry/Wes/Lloyd/Gronk/Aaron/Ballard is just an insane thought.
....Ryan Mallet the 3rd round pick who has done nothing to raise his value along with a conditional pick for one of the best receivers in the league? Who do you think we are the lakers?
