Yes Boutte caught 58 passes for 750+ yards and three TDs. But it was a horrible bunch of WRs and now that the competition has been ratcheted up a notch, he should prove that he wasn't just the best of the rest. The preseason is going to shine a bright light on every player and probably will shine brighter on the skills. There won't be any shadows to hide in. It's going to be step up or step out.

This is a good problem to have. Hope they make the right choices for roster, seems like they need WR by committee. Don’t need any superstars, although I hope Diggs builds good chemistry with Maye.

Edit: also would like Williams to win ROY award. A bit far-fetched, but it would be awesome.

Agree with you Southie it's a good problem to have. The receivers listed are all going to have to ball out. The writer didn't mention Polk and Baker as potential trades. Will one or other actually show their perceived draft expectations?

I don't see much value in any of them at this point. NE will be lucky to get a 6th round pick or a 2nd or 3rd string player not likely to really help the team. Need to hold all these players till other teams start losing WRs to injury. It was a strong WR class so most teams are sitting pretty good. Boutte probably the most valuable followed by Bourne IMO. Both could probably be a good WR3 or WR4 on a decent team. NEs problem last year wasn't just the WRs being bad. Coaching and Oline didn't help their ineffectiveness.

There's a part of me that feels bad for all of them. They'll be walking on egg shells until final cut downs.
