I'd take Jennings but the second one not so much. You are replacing our #1 WR with 3 #3 WR's at best and that's being generous to Cribbs -

I see it this way...our #1 WR was a slot guy. If Welker catches 105 passes then Amendola will catch 85. Should be even be more of a deep threat/ed zone threat than Wes to boot.We'd be assuming that Gronk and Hernandez catch 70-90 passes each and are Brady's #1 and #3 targets.
Lloyd and Heyward-Bey battle for being target #4 , Bey is a burner and avg's 15 yards a catch... even if he only catches 2-3 passes a game, at those ypg #'s he'll spread the field better than anyone since '07-'09 Moss. Then Lloyd catches 3-4 outside the lines and the other 3 operate inside the lines.
Cribbs is option #6, he's physical and much better depth than Branch... but is mostly being paid like a #3-#4 b/c of the boost he gives our return game.

I honestly think we should sign Cruz to a front loaded contract that the Giants won't be able to match and hand over our 1st rounder.
Problem solved.

Except we still need to fill the outside receiver spot since Cruz is a slot guy -

I will be shocked if Heyward-Bey gets 4 mil a year. -

Team has way too many holes to create a contract like that which would likely have to use 10-12m in cap space to keep the Giants from matching.
I'd rather trade the 1st for Fitzgerald and hope we can restructure his deal to be only a 7-8m a year cap hit for the remainder of Brady's contract.

I would sign David Nelson, Brandon Gibson, Amendola, draft 1 wr 2-3rd rd.
Lost amid the wealth of high-profile receivers is St. Louis Rams target Brandon Gibson, who Josh McDaniels coached last season; if New England is interested in exploring mid-range solutions at the position, Gibson could make sense. The 25 year-old wideout caught 68% of the 75 passes Rams quarterback Sam Bradford threw him in 2012, averaging 13.5 yards per catch and 9.2 yards per target. He is a lesser-known deep threat who caught eight of the seventeen deep passes thrown to him last year, gaining 183 yards and scoring three touchdowns on those targets, including a 22-yard grab against New England in London.

Lord help us if this is their best option! Only way any combination makes since is if by some miracle they move up in the draft and get Tavon Austin for the slot and a very good mid to deep threat now. -

Amendola is in. I would explore and see what Jennings wants and bring in Nelson then spend the rest of the dollars on the secondary.

I would. I have said it before wide recievers who catch 70+ balls in this system don't grow on trees. -

I like Neson of Bills - let's get him, also Murphy of Cats is a nice receiver imo.
