Right now, any wide receiver in unrestricted free agency is an upgrade to Chad Ochostinko.He is even an upgrade form our 2012 #3: Ochocinco.

This is a fine pickup. I presume that he took a physical.
He is certainly a fine #4 wide receiver. He is even an upgrade form our 2012 #3: Ochocinco.
So, now we have our #1, #3, #5 and #6 wide receivers for 2012.
For now, we also have Ochocinco and Underwood; Branch is unsigned.

And free agency is less than a week old and we still have the draft.

For me, the #1 WR priority is to sign Welker to a long term deal.
I say sign Pollard, and then do this.
How do you bash this move? Everything to gain, nothing to lose.
The Pats have made mistakes on FA's. What happens if the Pats pass on drafting a WR becaue they think Gonzalez is the answer? Then he lands on IR or is a bust like C.O.
Gonzalez hasnt been healthy is years. Everybody wants to point out his very best season and think thats the player the Pats just signed up.
Do you really think BB's going to look at a guy who's been healthy enough to play just 10 games, and amass 5 catches, in 3 years and say "I'm good there"?
You ask me that when Edelman and Slater are playing defensive back? BB picked up Josh Barrett hurt in 2010 and he landed right back on IR. Get real.
Are you telling me that BB is infallible?
**** that, I don't want him hitting our players every practice. We'll have no one left by season's end.

Come on.
Taking a flyer on a talented player who has had a miserable run of injuries isn't going to alter the strategy of building the roster.
I have not seen ANYONE point to his best season and say that is the player we signed except you. Can you point those posts out to me so I can respond to them?
