By now, everyone is familiar with the Patriots' struggles drafting wide receivers. Now their misses in the draft and in free agency have come to head, forcing the Pats to completely turn over the position.
Their hopes for a fourth Super Bowl for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick rest prominently on the shoulders of second-round pick Aaron Dobson. Dobson will be asked to bring the outside and deep presence they have lacked in recent seasons, along with fellow rookie Josh Boyce, and perhaps rookie free agent T.J. Moe.
However, Dobson's choice of No. 17 is doing nothing to calm the worries of Patriots nation. It only brings back memories of previous failed high-round receiver draft picks like Chad Jackson and Taylor Price.
There was enough pressure on Dobson before, but taking No. 17 magnifies it even more. Perhaps Danny Amendola taking trusted No. 80 will help bring some good mojo to the new Patriots receivers.
