Wide Receiver Rank: #25 Overall: #71
Lloyd played in two poor offenses last season (Broncos and Rams) but still finished just shy of 1,000 yards and caught 70 passes, giving him two straight seasons of 70 or more catches. Lloyd had nine games with 50 or more yards, including two games of 100-plus yards. During the last two years, Lloyd averages 74 receptions for 1,207 yards and eight touchdowns per season. He has just three of nine seasons with 700-plus yards but the light has finally come on late in his career. Lloyd is just 31 years old and has plenty of life left in his legs. He moves to the Patriots this season, getting reunited with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels once again. Lloyd won't be the No. 1 receiver in this offense and has plenty to compete with for targets but should be a starter and factor from day one. Lloyd is a top deep threat because of his speed and ability to stretch the field. His route running has really improved the last few seasons, which is the reason his numbers have gone up. Lloyd also has great hands and will make the acrobatic catch.

Lloyd is a tough guy to figure for the coming year. You figure he will have some huge games in this offense but he'll also disappear at time with so much to compete with for targets. Even with that said, consider him a solid No. 2. He can get around 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns in this offense. |

| The San Francisco 49ers are still interested in signing another wide receiver. They have worked out free-agent WRs Mario Manningham (Giants), Brandon Lloyd (Rams) and Chaz Schilens (Raiders) so far. Should the team pursue restricted free-agent WR Mike Wallace (Steelers), they would have plenty of room under the salary cap to fit in an offer sheet to him. The 49ers are about $18 million under the salary cap at this point. |

| St. Louis Rams impending free-agent WR Brandon Lloyd said he would be a good fit to sign with the New England Patriots because of his relationship with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. 'I think I just fit the mold for what Josh is trying to accomplish in his offense,' Lloyd said. 'That's why I was so successful in Denver, and in turn, in St. Louis. I think that's the connection there, besides the fact I have a ton of respect for him and his family, and the way he coaches, and the way he identifies with me and players ... I think he just gets a good response out of players and definitely out of me.' |

| The New England Patriots are believed to be looking at wide receiver as their top priority this offseason and are expected to have interest in San Diego Chargers impending free-agent WR Vincent Jackson and Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free-agent WR Mike Wallace. The Patriots may decide against signing Jackson and Wallace because either could cost the team a first-round pick if Jackson receives the franchise tag from the Chargers. St. Louis Rams impending free-agent WR Brandon Lloyd may be a cheaper option for the team and would not cost any draft picks. |
