Drummond is nothing special. Sure, he's fast, but we already have fast. And our fast can catch, too.

Gaffney has made a career out of underachieving, but OTOH he's been stuck in Houston so it's entirely possible he's ready to break out. His numbers certainly don't warrant big money so he could turn into a Reggie Wayne kind of WR2 if it turns out he's just been languishing in a bad offense all this time.

The other wildcards for me are K-Drop and Antonio Bryant. Both have boatloads of talent but big personality / character questions. They say K-Drop has cleaned himself up and is committed to becoming a top receiver again, and I'm sure Gibbs would give a guy a second chance if he truly believed he was genuine. But is he one of those 5-10% who do manage to turn it around, or will he relapse?

Bryant seems to have a prima donna thing going on but the kid has skills and likes to catch the long ball. Parcells basically exiled him, though, so you don't want to bring in a rotten apple.
