I'm pretty sure that TD will look to find that change of pace back that can catch the ball and break ankles with this jukes and cuts....

As for the explosive/vertical threat WR, TD and Les Snead were reported in looking hard at the WRs at the SR Bowl. If we hear more of the WR talk at the Combine, draft visits, and Pro Day, then it would be pretty obvious that we are targeting an explosive WR, and possibly in the early rounds...

I think a lot of fans will be happy with the moves we make this offseason. I have a gut feeling...

If we had, had Norwood in the line up, I believe that Turners numbers would have looked a lot better because we didn't really have another threat out of the backfield.

Snelling is Ok, but we need speed.

Welker also catches an insane amount of passes and picks up a ridiculous amount of YAC. He's a very unique WR in a unique situation.

Simply put, you aren't going to find another Wes Welker in the NFL at the moment. Guys like him are statistical anomalies, and should be seen as the exception and not the standard.

No he doesn't.
His career ypc is 10.7
Jenkins is 12.7

If he picked up insane yards as you say then his stats would reflect that.

He is like a vacuum cleaner when it comes to catches but he pretty much runs the same patterns as Jenkins. I'm not saying Jenkins is better but in the right system he could excel.

Most passes Welker catches are a few yards off the LOS and the rest is YAC. If you took away Welker's YAC, he literally has half the yardage he has now.

With Jenkins, he is ridiculously low on YAC. Even Tony Gonzalez and ALL of our RB/FBs pick up more YAC than him. You take off his YAC and he still has more than 400 yards receiving instead of 500.

Jenkins is the fastest WR on this team but he runs routes slower than any of them.
