Agreed, however, with a new coach everything's always up in the air. He likes big O-lineman and seems like he's revamping. That's why our coaching turnover over the past decade has crippled us -- every time we miss on a coach, we often change schemes and revamp the roster and ditch our drafted prospects.
For WR - I don't think developing WR has been the problem, it seems like more identifying good ones in the draft and drafting higher. Cerrato's 3 misses in the second round in 2008 was epic. But since 2008, we've only had Marko Mitchell in 7th (2009), Terrence Austin in 7th (2010), Hankerson in 3rd / N.Paul in 5th, and A.Rob in 6th (2011). Not many high drafted prospects that we're missing on developing..
Our secondary has a lot of B and C players. We have drafted these higher and could have developed more of these: Tryon 3rd, Horton 7th (2008), Kevin Barnes 3rd (2009), Dejon Gomes 5th, Brandyn Thompson (2011), Jordan Bernstein 7th (2012), Amerson 2nd, P.Thomas 4th, Rambo 6th (2013).
Hoping we get a good WR in draft this year, and that our scouting department is leaned on..
