I agree with you that Moss isn't a true # 1, but Seattle doesn't and hasn't had a true #1 and their offensive production has been pretty good (2007 - top third, 2006 - mid third, 2005 - top third). In the WCO a True #1 is not a necessity (Seattle, Green Bay, Eagles). Obviously we'd love to have a player of CJ's caliber, but do we NEED him. I think we really have more urgent needs that could be addressed at a more reasonable price. Also having to give up the high draft picks to get him makes me say no.
In addition to Briggs, I would target Wahle from the Panthers and/or Shelton from Miami to help the OL. If we can get Wahle, Kendall can move to back-up. If Shelton comes in (probably a long shot) we can release Wade, have insurance if Jansen is injured again, and give Heyer a bit more time to develop without being "thrown to the wolves" again (although he did well this year). At WR I think we would be better off going after Bryant Johnson of the Cards or DJ Hackett. They will have a smaller contract than CJ and both are in their mid-20s and could develop into a #1.
