This is it. We\u2019ve reached the end of our arbitrary road that I\u2019ve decided stops at 10. As I said in Part 1<\/a>, this is a deep free agent class, with specialists across the board. Narrowing it down to 10 was legitimately tough, so these guys at the end of the list really had to make their case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. ROBBY ANDERSON, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 52 catches, 779 yards, five touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Emmanuel Sanders a few spots\nabove him, Anderson is a guy that shouldn\u2019t be expected to be your\nNo. 1 wideout. He\u2019s a No. 2 and, ideally, a No. 3 you roll out to\nscare the jock strap off a safety as he streaks down the field with\nhis 4.34 40 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anderson has been productive every\nyear since the Jets signed him as an undrafted free agent out of\nTemple in 2016. In his second season he flirted with 1,000 yards and\ncaught 63 passes from the likes of Josh McCown and Bryce Petty, who\u2019s\nnot even in the NFL anymore and probably changed your oil at the\nQuickLube last Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: New York\nJets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jets have invested time,\ndevelopment and a roster spot in Anderson and there\u2019s no reason to\nsee another team reap the rewards. Guys with his size (6-3, 190) that\ncan run that fast are rare and, with consistent quarterback play and\na second year in Adam Gase\u2019s system, Anderson could go from a solid\nNo. 2 or 3 to a freakish No. 1. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. BRESHAD PERRIMAN, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 36 catches, 634 yards, six touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a former first round pick of the\nBaltimore Ravens, Perriman currently carries the bust label in spite\nof laying down his best season as a pro with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers\nin 2019. As decent as those stats are, they pretty much all came\nafter week eight when the team finally began to trust him in their\noffense. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It paid off for Perriman and would\nhave the Bucs, if quarterback Jameis Winston didn\u2019t consistently\nthrow the ball to the other team. You project those numbers over\neight appearances to 16 games and you\u2019ve got 72 catches, 1,268\nyards and 12 touchdowns. The dude makes the Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Anderson, Perriman can keep a\njob thanks to his quick feet, laying down a 4.25 40 at his pro day at\nUCF. Now that he finally has some NFL production on film, he should\nbe able to keep a job and maybe land more than a one-year deal. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: Buffalo\nBills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bills need help at the wide\nreceiver spot and can\u2019t be particularly picky about who they bring\nin. Cole Beasley is as good a slot receiver as there is in the NFL\nand John Brown actually became a weapon for the first time since his\nsecond year in the league in Arizona. But if you\u2019ve noticed a\npattern here, it\u2019s that these aren\u2019t guys the Bills drafted, but\nplayers other teams let go or gave up on. That sounds like Perriman\nto me. Hell, Brown even spent a season with the Ravens. Maybe he and\nPerriman can compare crab cake recipes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. PHILIP DORSETT, UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2019: 29 catches, 397 yards, five touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settling in on Dorsett as my No. 10\nwas surprisingly tough. I liked Laquon Treadwell a lot coming out of\nOle Miss and am baffled at his struggles getting on the field in\nMinnesota. While Tavon Austin never contributed a lot at wide\nreceiver, as a gadget guy and returner, he can be deadly. Tajae\nSharpe, Chris Hogan and Geronimo Allison should all find jobs with\nnew teams as well, but what put Dorsett in this spot was his\ntouchdown production and speed. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Perriman, Dorsett\u2019s 40 time\n(4.33) got him drafted in the first round and, like Perriman, it\nwasn\u2019t enough to keep him employed on his original team. He was\ndealt to the New England Patriots in the deal that brought Jacoby\nBrissett to the Indianapolis Colts. He\u2019s been a contributor and a\npuzzle piece, but never the No. 2 consistent deep threat the Colts or\nPats wanted him to be. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at the right price, and it would\nbe, he\u2019s a guy that can keep a defense honest and deliver the home\nrun when the opportunity arises. With the trouble the Patriots had at\nwide receiver, Dorsett played more and had the best season of his\ncareer. He\u2019s a young guy and can build on that elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where he should end up: Buffalo\nBills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you bring in Perriman, there\u2019s no reason not to take a good, long look at Dorsett. The Bills need guys that can run past the defense to capitalize on Josh Allen\u2019s arm and I promise you that no safety or corner wants to see Perriman and Dorsett lined up on the same side of the field running go routes with a QB that can throw it 80 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
