It's easy, and only takes a few moments.So, aside from Edelman, we’d have a couple of mediocre has-beens/depth options, a player who hopes to overcome the disease known as addiction, and a special teams player who is good for kickoff returns and some jet sweeps, but can’t produce in the downfield game worth a damn.I agree, but my pipedream is a receiving corps of Edelman, Hogan, Amendola, Gordon and Patterson for next year. I know it's a long shot, but all for the right price of course.
So, aside from Edelman, we’d have a couple of mediocre has-beens/depth options, a player who hopes to overcome the disease known as addiction, and a special teams player who is good for kickoff returns and some jet sweeps, but can’t produce in the downfield game worth a damn.
I’d counter your depth chart with this:
—Edelman
—actual receiving threat not named Edelman
—outside WR from either draft or free agency
—guy who can catch passes thrown by Brady
—ONE of Dorsett/Amendola/Hogan
Josh Gordon could fall into one of these categories, assuming he can stay clean and on the right path. Patterson stays as a ST player if the cost is right, but in a perfect world we’d address the receiving options well enough to where he’d only count as a WR5.
Hes the reason we won that game and moved to win #6
What test is that?Chris Hogan is a good kid but he may need to pass my test again.
Wrong, the reason we won that game is the defense, which held mahomes and that chiefs offense almost scoreless the whole 1st half. Heck, that defense is the reason we won all 3 playoff games.
Rarely does a single play wins you a game... e.g. a Hail Mary with 2 seconds on the clock.
You list 5 positions and then say that Paterson as #5. I agree with your analysis. The roster needs 4 WR's, not counting Patterson who is fine as the #5.
And yes, I am fine with Edelman as one of the positions, and Hogan/Amendola/Dorsett as a second. We need 2 more receivers that are expected to be contributors and capable of "starting", depending on game plan.
I disagree with C. Patterson being “fine” as a 5th receiver. He’s an explosive player on kick returns, sweeps and receiver screens, but, in no way, did he demonstrate an ability to be a consistent receiver within the normal offense.

As great as the defense was, it wasn’t the only reason they won all 3 playoff games. Certainly a big part but Michel ran all over San Diego, Brady and the offense scored those points to win over KC. Also, the Rams defense was fantastic, not as good as how the Pats played, but lethal in it’s own right. Brady and the offense had to overcome that to seal the deal for his defense. Team sport all the way.
CP went 21 for 247 this year as our 5th WR.
Our 5th WR production in prior years:
17 - Britt 2/23
16 - Floyd 4/42
15- Dobson 13/141
14 - Thompkins 6/53
13 - Boyce 9/121
So Patterson puts up numbers that are more than 40% higher production than our best 5th WR had in the last 6 years. Add to the fact he seems to be a decent fill-in RB (5.4 avg in 227 yards) and is an elite KR guy and you dont think he is "fine" as a 5th WR?
Once again, simple facts disagree with you.
Without looking can anyone tell me who the 5th wr was on the 2007 teams who recorded catches ?
Good guess. NoChad Jackson?
Shhhhh!What test is that?
The laser pointer test?
