Time for Patriots to draft an impact receiver – Patriots – Boston.com
Bedard goes with Woods…
The receivers in this draft that have the best chance are Robert Woods (USC), Keenan Allen (Cal), Chris Harper (Kansas State), Marquise Goodwin (Texas), Josh Boyce (TCU), Tavarres King (Georgia), Cobi Hamilton (Arkansas), and Aaron Mellette (Elon). The feeling here is that Woods offers the best chance at instant impact. He has been highly productive in a pro-style offense, makes terrific cuts in and out of breaks, and shows a great feel for routes and the game. He’s not the most dynamic player, but neither was Lloyd, and Woods looks like he can give what Lloyd did and add toughness and yards after the catch.
With that in mind – and with the understanding that New England appears poised to trade back and out of the first round, getting more picks but forfeiting a shot at a truly elite receiver – USC receiver Robert Woods and Cal receiver Keenan Allen appear to be the best possible picks for New England to add a dynamic new element at wide receiver. Both should be available from anywhere between 30 and 40 overall, and the chance to trade back, get more picks and still get an impact receiver with a collegiate history in a pro-style offense should be too much to pass up.

This is an interesting question, because if there’s one thing our All-SEC linebacking corps is a little deficient in it has to be coverage. Losing Dane Fletcher for the year certainly hurt in this area. Jerod Mayo runs well, but just doesn’t seem to that savvy in coverage. As we’ve discussed many times here, plays […]
