The list is somewhat ridiculous because Patterson was never an outside WR1 or WR2 and was more of a gadget player on offense in Yr 1 & Yr 4 - the replacements on that list range from 2nd tier slot WR in K Aiken to big bodied outside WR in M Floyd and A Boldin. The one thing that is difficult to replace is the field position that Patterson gave the Vikings and none of them on the list have experience replacing that.
I get the feeling that a rookie may be handling KR duties. I've been wondering if the Vikes would consider J Peppers in the 2nd if he fell down that far - he's a raw prospect on defense that Zimmer could use somewhere, but one thing that's often overlooked w/ him is his kick/punt return abilities.

Yea....I posted the article without comment because I thought it was just a wide net on receivers available. I know that you've been making a case for Floyd as a redemption project. I would support that...though our history of redemption projects at WR hasn't been all that great. I'm hoping Treadwell can act as the big body red zone guy this year.

That Carter guy was pretty good. But it's been a long spell since then. Maybe we are due.
