The Patrioits lost him this year, but no one seems to care. This was a solid #2 reciever, who was possibly their best deep threat. When you said "efficiency", his name popped up.Now, I'm seeing these "experts" on ESPN not even metion his loss. Believe me, it's big, and I don't think people are noticing enough
The reason why him being lost isn't talked about so much, is the drafting of Chad Jackson. He is more than capable of replacing David Givens, and i think will turn out to be a better wide receiver than David Givens is. Chad Jackson has decent size, and has good speed, as he was the fastest offensive player in this years draft as far as 40 times go. Also, the year before last, he was a good deep threat when Ron Zook was the coach and threw the ball farther down field. This year with Urban Meyer he learned how to be more of a possesion receiver to go with his downfield speed. He will be better for this offense in the long run, than Givens was.

They need to pickup Givens..</div>Titans already signed him.I agree with valo though. Chad Jackson should be more than a capable replacement for David Givens. And of course they still have Deion Branch. Also, expect Ben Watson their TE to be more involved this year, he could be due for a breakout year. Patriots should be fine, especially when they have a QB like Tom Brady throwing to them
