Patriots sign FA WR Jordan Matthews....

Per NFL.com

 

A 1-year deal....    dollars not disclosed.

 

Our targets for another FA WR are dwindling.      There are still some....    but not as many....

I am thinking with our #6 + 3 2nd Round picks, we will probably go Defense and O.Line with our first 4 picks but may take the best WR available in Round 3? I would be ok with that instead of another RB. I like Mack so in Round 4 we could still maybe get a solid RB too. It's all a crapshoot right now but just a thought.

Good route runner....not going to break any land speed records but should be a dependable target in their offense. They will have to draft a wr to stretch the field or teams will just put their safety over top Gronk.

The class of 2014... so ridiculously deep at WR.

 

Good player, will probably thrive in NE as he’s not an outside burner.

Colts will land a WR no later than round 3. I can feel it.

Matthews isn't anything special.

I think so too.  We've visited with about 15 or more WR so far.

I chose one early in my mock, but there's going to be a big pocket

of them with skill available between the 3rd round and lower.

They need another vet WR as well. Rookie WRs take time to develop. One injury to the current group of vets and it’s big trouble.

Matthews will be fighting with a couple other WR's for a single roster spot.  He may not even make the team....

Yes...I would say Dorsett would be the one that would probably be on the chopping block but he is kinda unique to your team as the only burner/deep threat really....even if he doesn't do a good job at that. If Edelman and Hogan are healthy those will be two primary targets and will get a majority of snaps. When you guys throw the ball to RBs and motion them out as much as you guys do it just means wr is not that big of a priority. If Matthews is healthy I think he makes the team. Always had good hands and ran good routes. Just not very fast.
