It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Not a good track record as a returner, only handled a few,muffed two,lost one. Was never used in that role again after 2015. Has world-class speed, maybe we can coach him up. He was better as a wr.I like this trade. Dorsett is young, fast, a returner and has a decently high ceiling as wr. win win.
And we picked Brown over Landon Collins, who has developed into a top 5 safety in the league, and was pretty much a sure lock pick coming out of Bama. just imagine our secondary with him in it.

Can't argue with that. Edelman is definitely different than Welker. But Hogan is Welker's complete opposite. I still see Edelman's greatest asset as his ability to get open quick. Hogan's greatest asset is his ability down the field. I believe Cooks' ability makes him the more likely replacement for some of Edelman's production.People seem to have the wrong idea of what Edelman's been doing for this team. He's not Welker. He doesn't live in the slot and go outside occasionally. He spends about half of his time on the outside. The key is the productivity when he does go to the slot.
Could Patriots WR Julian Edelman see more time in the slot?

Ron Brace may have been drafted for need, and it didn't work out.
So been doing a little reading on Dorsett and not seeing much to ease the concern for a legit, proven PR
Thoughts?
That's my read as wellStandard BB-speak: the Pats will get him into the facility and see what he can do.
The Pats were almost forcing Cyrus Jones to be the PR this year, so "proven" isn't what they were going for. They're trying to get an upside depth player onto the active roster and into the game.
i dont like this trade. i wanted them to hold onto three qbs for one more year. i think brisset is going to be a really good qb. and im not thrilled with the return. jag.

Anyone who remotely believes "rumors" of a high pick DB getting cut after one season is an Idiot, plain and simple.
Look at him now, First team All pro, and PFF's 3rd highest graded overall safety.
Fyi, NY tried to use him more of a FS in his rookie year, and he struggled. Like i told a poster above, he is not a FS, but he can play in that role when needed.

Right now, he's one of the best defensive players in the NFL
I may be making the wrong argument. I'll just leave it with something more practical and measurable: When the heat is on and TB needs to get the ball out quickly, I'm betting that he's going to Cooks, Dola, and Gronk before looking Hogan's way. And that, to me, is the biggest thing that needs replacing with Edelman out.Don't bet the farm

Well if Luck is injured it's possible and the season starting in less than a week I can see Dorsett not being activated right off. I think they will though if maybe just for punt returns. I'd be surprised to see him inactive though. This was a serious move. Why would they waste it?Not a fan of this trade.
I'll take a flyer and predict that by the end of this season
- Brissett will have Luck's job
- Dorsett will be game day inactive.
