If you are banking on Gordon coming back, I'm gonna tell you the chances now are slim to none.
Gordon is first of all messed up in the head, and second of all was going to be suspended by the NFL for violations of the substance abuse policy. So no I don't see him being able to come back next year.
Pats either draft a WR (they are notoriously bad at doing so) or they trade for a ready made receiver (hit or miss but they have acquired some great guys like Wes Welker, Moss, Cooks, Amendola, etc.).

Brown will only see decline from here. What I'd rather do is pick an early round WR or trade for an Allen Robinson type of guy, or another veteran WR similar to Cooks.
But honestly, if we are somehow able to get Gordon back next year, we have a "WR1" and should be looking to draft an early WR next year. Without Gordon, the draft plan stays the same but we should sign/trade for a solid WR2 too. Won't lie, but Edelman's basically one of the best WRs in the league, and he's always been the WR1.
