Lol What? Thomas is done. Hi stats have been steadily declining over the last few years, he is 31 and he is coming off a major injury. While Gordon was definitely not 2013 Gordon last year, he was solid down the stretch. On top of that he already has a year in the offense and worked with Brady. I don't even think the two are close.

Clearly you see wide receivers on the roster that aren’t there.If the Ghost of Demarius Thomas is our #2 WR, going into this season the Pats are in deep trouble. I'd be happy with him being our 4 or 5 down the stretch after T-giving.
I don't see him as "done" like 203pats does above, in fact he could turn out to be some very important late season depth injection.

Dorsett and Cooks both ran a 4.33 at the NFL Combine - that is a computer time so it is reliable. Cook's 3Cone was 6.76 while Dorsett's was 6.70. Cooks might be an overall better receiver, but running a deep route I see little difference and the testing numbers confirm. Why do you think there is a big difference in separation? Dorsett is a great human being, a great teammate, signed a team friendly deal and "is what he is". Why the hate?
I agree.
Why don't we try Dorsett at PR or KR? Is his frame too small to sustain big hits or something?
If Thomas starts practicing and comes up to full speed, the WR position is sure to shed some talented players.
Edelman is a lock.
Harry is a lock (will he start on PUP, perhaps? Hamstring injuries can linger.)
After that, I've got (not in terms of "best" but as in who I expect nearest to locks.
3. Thomas - if the above is correct.
4. Dorsett
5. Meyers - I can't see them letting this kid walk, and I doubt they'd get him to his practice squad.
6/7/8. Harris (better get back on the field!), Inman, Berrios
If Gordon gets reinstated, and the rest are all healthy, the world goes crazy.
Edelman
Gordon
Thomas
Harry
Meyers
Dorsett might wind up out.
Can someone please answer this question: as of today, why do you have any faith at all in Josh Gordon or Demaryius Thomas? Until they suit up, they are non factors.
I think they need to hold onto Berrios, certainly over Harris, and develop him into an Amendola/Edelman type. Plus he can handle Punt returns and increase the chances that Edelman will stay healthy...

You are basically saying that we should ignore all acquisitions until they play games. Belichick knows the situations. We only speculate. Edelman is not on the field. Should we expect anything from Edelman.
For me, I expect Thomas to be a contributor. Yes, I think he can be counted on to be a minor contributor. If fully healthy, he would be a key part of our offense.
He averaged 6.5 more ypc than DT did last season and only averaged half a catch per game less (3.4 vs 3.9). So who is the one who disappears?Gordon can disappear in an instant.
Thomas stats have been affected by QB issues.
Combine stats are great and all but one is a highly productive NFL receiver who has done it on 3 different teams while the other was a first round reach who is a solid role player but in all likelihood will never approach half the production Cooks has had.Dorsett and Cooks both ran a 4.33 at the NFL Combine - that is a computer time so it is reliable.

If only we had 2013-2014 ThomasOK, presuming that Gordon is still suspended, we will have to cut three out of
Harris, Meyers, Dorsett, Inman and Berrios.
First, the top 3 WR's get over 90% of the reps. The #4 and #5 WR's get almost no reps over the course of the season. Barring injuries, I would expect the same with Edelman, Thomas and Harry.
So, yes. Most here will likely see one of their favs cut. Some of us will guess which TWO to save, be the backup in case of injury, and perhaps have a serious role in a game or two depending on matchups.
Personally, I would keep Harris and Dorsett. However, I could see Belichick using the 5th WR spot for Myers, who he would hope to develop over the course of the next year, likely without being active.
