I actually don’t mind him, but he’s definitely not a #1 WR.
 
The weirdo that likes to be barefoot. Uh, cool I suppose.

Who is he supposed to replace?
 
I didn't know he was a barefooter. Now that I can get behind. I have really wide feet, and very few shoes fit right. I go barefoot at every opportunity. Gravel roads to garden soil, I'm like an oversized hobbit. Sandals in winter. I loathe shoes and occasions that make me wear them.
 
Are there any tall fast WRs available later in the draft?

I see some FA signings as an indication of what they want in the draft, hopefully with better potential.

If the pats can't sign a starting wide receiver, drafting one of the two top wide receiver prospects may be our best option. It is possible Polk could regain his confidence and hands under Vrabel's guidance

After drafting Polk and Baker, I have only a little bit of an idea as to what Wolf's preferences are for WRs.
Add Ryan Cowden's & Vrabel's ideas to the mix (Corey Davis, fifth overall pick, bust; Treylon Burks was the replacement for A.J. Brown, first-round pick, 18th overall, bust; A.J. Brown was in the second round) and I have no idea what they come up with now.

Obviously, AJ Brown is the big name that comes up but there were 8 other WRs drafted by Tenn. during Vrabel's tenure and you probably haven't heard of any of them.
Racey McMath ring a bell with anyone? Didn't think so. He was a 2021 pick.
Most were drafted in the 4th, 5th and 6th rounds and that almost assures failure.

One thing we know is that Vrabel loves AJ Brown so maybe he learned to see the value in a top 10 WR. How will that appreciation translate to the Patriots? Well, 5 of those draft
bust WRs came in the years after AJ Brown was drafted and all but Burks came in the late rounds, including the previously mentioned Racey McMath.

I'm not hopeful. 3 drafts may be necessary before I get a clue what the "collaboration" wants.

As for FAs, they want guys who have already been developed. That's easy but it's also very expensive. Given the cash, any guy off the street can pick a FA to target. Signing FAs
is the opposite of drafting well and coaching a guy up and that's what we need.

There's a wildcard here, however. Will Josh McDaniels have a say? We know he didn't under Bill. My guess is that McD would love to give his opinions but that means he'd have
to sit in on scouting meetings and study tape which would take away from his OC duties. It's a catch 22 so the logical thought is he won't have any meaningful input other than about
existing FAs to target which, as I said, is something anyone off the street could do.
