1 Andelman
2 Harry
3 Gordon
4 Thomas
Edelman-Dorsett-Harry -3 UDFAs- Berrios and Patterson - Demaryus Thomas - Josh Gordon - Dontrelle Inman
Something's gotta give.
This makes me wonder if BB got some suspension news about Gordon, or a health update on Thomas, or if he's just trying to let it all play out.

He overloads at WR more than any other position, and let’s it work itself out. Last year pretty much all those he brought in ended up being released. And I don’t think he counts on Gordon at all, he’s just looking at any contribution from him as a bonus.
Assuming most of these new guys don't show up on the injured list, the
Patriots should be able to fashion a decent wide receiving corps. The
two guys they are replacing were not so hot. Hogan could not get separation
all year and Patterson was not a traditional wide receiver. Patterson was a good
kick returner who was used on gimmick plays. Patterson fell over once just catching
the screen pass.

I don't think it is as much of an evolution as to what the best available options are at the time all within the salary cap without screwing yourself over the following year. He has proven to be a "Leatherman's knife" among the rest of the steak and butter knives around the league year after year.We are witnessing the evolution of BB, from the belief that he could just coach up D-Backs (Tiquan and "Two way Troy) to really solid CB's, from a star RB to RB by committee, from smaller "smurf" WR's to bigger, stronger WR's...
The game and philosophy of BB is changing on the fly and before our eyes.. more three D chess among the checkers players,,
I like the Inman signing, more camp competition and better choices...
He was decent a couple months ago.He was decent a few years ago...worth a flyer for sure

Everytime I think we are going youth we sign Watson and Inman.
That’s always the case at this time of year.I mean at this point it is more likely that Berrios or any of the UDFA will be on the 53 in September than Gordon. And who knows what we get with DT.

Who knows who could be injured, who develops, who doesn’t. My post was a response to dorsett being called a lock and I pointed out if every player would out as hoped dorsett won’t make the team, as one example of why he shouldn’t be considered a lock.
You seem to have misunderstood what I was saying.
The rest: I like what I read about Ubosi and Berrios is the only pipeline for the Smurf slot guy but this group has a pretty big up hill battle to make it until injuries start.
