Did anyone see 07 happening after 06?

Nope but that doesn't mean people that get hurt are magically not going to get hurt in 2013. They need a few more receivers Donald Jones and Amendola do not inspire that much confidence. Amendola will be good, Jones is a jag.

I don't think he is injury prone but so far yes you can say. All I am saying is we can be pleasantly surprised. I think amendola will play every game and so will gronk. One I really question is ahern, he just can't catch a break.

I have doubts as to whether or not Jones will even make the team. In the end he should as an improvement to the WR3-4 position, but in the meantime there will be at least several players battling it out with him for that spot, so he's no lock.

I think we get a decent addition in the vein of a Sanders or a Maclin etc..someone with a "name" and a reputation. That seems to be the plan.

There will almost definitely be a higher pick WR for the WR3-4 spot. We don't need him to be awesome, just someone like Tate was in 2010, a guy who can catch 25-30 passes in a developmental and field stretching role who can make a bigger play from time to time while keeping the attn of the DB's.

Even though Tate wasn't a great WR, he offered decent enough production in 2010 for playing in his first season with an 18 yd average and 3 TD's, in addition to about 450 yds. I think that's what we can realistically hope for in a rookie WR pick this year. If we get something better it will be a bonus.

That's really all we need...a "name/reputation" player and a rookie WR in the first few rounds. Belichick will be bringing in a handful of other guys to battle it our in TC with Donald Jones etc for the last spot or two, so that's already a given.

I have a feeling that you're right. A healthy Amendola will go a long way in accepting the departure of Welker.

He already has some nice skills, is very tough, a hard worker, and knowledgable of our offense already. He should get a decent amount of looks.
