We\u2019re reached the middle portion\nof our list, with guys that can fill a slot role, stretch the field,\nor muscle their way over linebackers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. RANDALL COBB, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 55 catches, 828 yards, three touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobb was brought in to hold down the\nslot in Dallas this season and performed as advertised, putting up\nhis best numbers since 2015 with Dak Prescott tossing him the ball. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Green Bay Packer got a\none-year prove it deal with the Cowboys and seems to have done just\nthat. He probably won\u2019t be as cheap this year and no team will be\nlooking at him as a one-year option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: Dallas\nCowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is easy. Like Sanders, you\ndon\u2019t mess with a good thing and Cobb fit the spot Dallas needed.\nMore than that, Mike McCarthy drafted him out of Kentucky back in\n2011 and there should be no issues with working out a deal to keep\nhim from breaking his condo lease in Arlington. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. NELSON AGHOLOR, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 39 catches, 363 yards, three touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a down year for Agholor,\nwhich not only resulted in him become in the subject of jokes\nand memes<\/a>, but likely ended his time with the\nPhiladelphia Eagles. A lingering shin injury didn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agholor is just 26 and there\u2019s no\nreason to think he can\u2019t bounce back with a nice change of scenery.\nAgholor\u2019s speed alone (he ran a 4.39 40) should keep him on plenty\nof teams\u2019 radars and he\u2019ll likely get a good look from any squad\nlooking to stretch the field and land a guy that has not yet reached\nhis full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: New\nEngland Patriots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiver was an issue all year for\nthe Patriots after they cut Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon and they\nnever really solved it. If Tom Brady is coming back (and it\u2019s about\n60-40 at this point), they\u2019ll need somebody that can catch one of\nhis NFL-mandated fully-inflated footballs 20 yards down the field.\nAnd even if Brady ends up in Los Angeles, they\u2019ll still need\nsomebody who can run a go route without taking a break before his cut\nto massage a stitch in his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. DEVIN FUNCHESS, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: Three catches, 32 yards<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fractured clavicle in the season\u2019s\nopening game cost Funchess his one season with the Indianapolis\nColts, a team that could have really used his ability to get open in\ntraffic and move the chains. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funchess never was a No. 1 with the\nCarolina Panthers, as much as the team needed him to be one. He was a\ngood possession receiver, an Anquan Boldin type, who averaged a first\ndown every time he touched the ball. Even his three catches in his\nsingle game with the Colts came with a 10.7 yard average. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smart playcaller would run\nFunchess in the slot, use him like a tight end half the time and let\nhim eat up linebackers in the red zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: Denver\nBroncos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of Courtland Sutton, the\nBroncos were garbage at wide receiver in 2019. If Drew Lock is going\nto have a chance, Denver must bring in guys that can move the chains\nand get the ball into the paint. Funchess fits that bill. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list concludes with Nos. 8-10 in Part 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
