Do we need an impact #1 wideout? Sure, but I wouldn't expect to find a WR with the 21st pick who will be an immediate, impact player. Do we need a CB? Sure, but we have Springs, Smoot, and Rogers on the roster. IMO, our most pressing need is along the line.

Don't worry, when our running game returns to the 1337 level then people will be more then pleased with us drafting Brandon Albert. Plus with Albert and Heyer we'll have our pair of bookends set for possibly the next decade. Plus as I said before, if we draft Albert in the first then the chances of us taking Jordy in the 2nd or 3rd increase. Personally I would love to see a draft with Albert in the first, Jordy in the Second, and Dre Moore in the third, however Moore might not last that long.
I don't think people realize that we have a better group of Recievers then most teams in the NFL. This desire for a playmaker at Reciever is way off base to me. People see what Randy Moss did last year and think "WOW I WANT THAT" Usually teams that are looking for "the answer" at Wide Reciever go through a lot of trouble to find that guy. And in some cases it means poor Quarterback play. Which to me isn't much of an issue with Zorn tutoring Campbell. I mean the names Branch and Burleson don't exaclty strike fear into the hearts of defenses but the Seahawks have one of the NFL's best passing attacks.
Conversly the Cardinals have two of the games best recievers and still can't get past 8-8. And ironically people have been blaming the Cardinals lack of success due to poor O-Line play, of course thats changing as of late with Grimm there but still.
I don't know I'm all over the place with this post.
