Patriots Training Camp: Opening Day

Well, for the third stright year we attend the opening day of Patriots Training Camp. The Patriots looked good. The big signings, Moss, Thomas and Welker all looked like Pro Bowlers and the guys we already had, Gaffery, Brady, Watson, Maroney and pretty much everyone else looked good. So yeah, wherever they're having the Super Bowl - HERE WE COME!! (maybe...)

Opening day 2007Can you find Peter?

Brady clapping, don't ask me why. Maybe he likes the fact that he actually has some wide receivers now.

Let the hitting begin!

Moss beats his guy and makes the catch on the sideline

Jabbar Gaffney, looked really good. Should be the Pats 3d or 4th wideout

Punting drill, here they come...

...too late

Welker avoiding the sack in the bump and run drill

Sammy Morris, didn't see do anything special but he's really not here to do anything special

Brown Is Back

After deciding not to retire and play one more season, Troy Brown is back with the Patriots.

The crowded Pats wide receiver situation is looking even more crowded. But that's a good thing!

The Patriots now have 13 wide outs currently signed with the team. At least seven (but not more then eight) will probably still be around after training camp but that's not taking injury's into factor.

Here's a list of the guys the Patriots have and my guesses on who's a lock to make the team and who's not.

100% Chance of Making the Team
*Troy Brown
*Wes Welker
*Donte' Stallworth
*Randy Moss

90% Chance
*Chad Jackson

70% Chance
*Jabar Gaffney
*Kelley Washington
*Reche Caldwell

25% Chance
*Kelvin Kight
*Bam Childress

10% Chance
*Jonathan Smith

Better be Praying
*Chris Dunlap
*C.J. Jones

As it looks now, either if the Patriots decide to load up on one roster spot it would seem wise for them to do it here. The depth of this unit over last years unit is amazing. Just think about it, last year Reche Caldwell was Tom Brady's go to guy. This year, Moss, Welker, Stallworth all could be number one wide receivers and Caldwell is going to be playing this preseason for a roster spot.
