You could probably get one of Robert Meachem, Anthony Gonzalez or Craig Davis with that second round pick. And not only would he be a heck of a lot cheaper than Welker, he would have a much higher upside.

As stated before, he had Joey Harrington throwing to him. 67 catches is damn good. Better than anyone on the Pats last season, and that was with Tom Brady throwing them the ball.
As for the guys you mentioned, first, none of them will be around by late second round. Second, I think they are all still crapshoots. I'll take Welker over them.
