Hey, I hope last week's heaping helping of backfield leftovers didn't cause too much indigestion. This week's batch -- receivers, tight ends and place-kickers -- should be more appealing. Let's dig in.
Wide Receivers
Germane Crowell: The 26-year-old Crowell had his best season in 1999, catching 81 passes for 1,338 yards and seven touchdowns in his second NFL season. But Crowell has missed significant playing time in every season since, leading the Lions to release him before the start of the free-agent signing period.
While Oronde Gadsden (see below) and Marcus Robinson, who subsequently signed with the Ravens, were the primary focus of pre-draft speculation regarding the Patriots' need for a bigger receiver, Crowell also hit Foxboro for a visit with team officials and the medical staff in early April.
