Hogan (undrafted)
Dorsett (acquired for their 3rd string QB)
Josh Gordon (acquired by swapping a 5th for a 7th)
Cordarelle Patterson (acquired by swapping a 5th for a 7th)

In the past they drafted plenty of WRs and they were all busts. These days I think they are confident in their ability to replenish their WR corp without spending much draft capital. They seem to have found a groove letting others miss on WRs and then acquiring those guys on the cheap. My guess is if the Patriots draft a WR, it will be at least a round late and not a round early.

I do like Renfrow. We have tried to be creative in creating a slot threat. We've drafted former QBs and receiving backs and plenty of undersized WRs, and we've mostly struck out. Coutee looks great but perpetually hurt. I'd be happy drafting a guy who already plays the slot and plays it well instead of a guy we project to play it.
