If there’s been a theme to the first two days of NFL free agency - aside from the usual bad teams overpaying for marginal or unproven talent - it’s that the receiver market has gotten out of control.

Greg Bedard is probably one of the top three NFL beat writers alive today, but I don't follow hiis logic in this story. He is acting like he works for ESPN. Today's analysis on paying Welker is a mile wide an inch deep. The signing of Mayo was pretty obvious, they need all the defensive help they can get. The receivers he compared Welker to are deep threat guys not the ball control, I fit into the Patriots system and it makes me better type that Welker is. If you need any further proof look at the difference between Dion Branch as a Seahawk and Dion Branch as a Patriot Parts I and II. Come on Greg we are expecting deeper analysis than one would hear from the "Boomer" Tom "the dunce" Jackson and Steve "I don't have a clue" Young.
