Brown or N'Keal Harry, and Deebo, in the early rounds as dominant/physical receivers that can play in the slot or outside.
We really don't have a guy with that skillset in our WR corps right now.
the Pats like wide receivers who are under 6' tall and have around a 6.7 to 6.8 3-cone time. The 40 time doesn't seem to matter that much to them.
Receivers who I think look could fit
Boykins, Deebo, Campbell, Isabella...
Although Boykins at 6'3 is too tall for our usual he went to Notre Dame so...
I haven't had time to get to more of these, but here's a nice breakdown of Meyers. I think @sircole requested I look at him (or someone did), but I've been too busy, unfortunately.

Interesting OL chart. I should probably update my thread title.
Their draft history says otherwise. Look at the 40 times -- most are 4.3 or 4.4. Dobson was 6'3. They do care about size and speed in the early rounds.
Yep, the last 3 WRs the Patriots have drafted in the first 3 rounds -- Dobson, Price, and Jackson -- have all been over 6 feet tall.
We need receivers who a) can get open, b) have good hands and c) are versatile.
I worry that Harry and Harmon can't separate regularly and have visions of Aaron Dobson. I think AJ Brown and Deebo Samuel fit all 3 requirements To a lesser extent I think Parris Campbell can do all 3 too but is much more of a projection but has ++ athleticism. They are my top 3 options at WR in the top 2 rounds.
I'd look at McLaurin, Ridley and Isabella in round 3.
