Ranking every Patriots WR by his chance of making the 53-man roster

The competition at wide receiver will be as fierce as it's ever been for the New England Patriots when training camp opens on July 23.

It's a necessary shot in the arm for a unit that has struggled for the last six seasons. Too many draft misses and free agency blunders left the Patriots with one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL.

Coach Mike Vrabel arrived to pick up the pieces, and he managed to do so by making multiple moves at the position in the offseason. The Patriots signed four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs to a three-year deal, and they used a third-round draft pick on rookie wideout Kyle Williams.
