Santana Moss, as good as he is, doesn't score enough TDs. Same with ARE. Down in the red zone these guys disappear. Nevermind the fact that Moss is getting older and that without these WRs, James Thrash or Anthony Mix would be our #3 WR (horrible).
Fred Davis gives us a second TE weapon, another big body for making yards after the catch.
We got serious value out of our picks. You guys are crazy.

Totes.
Good football teams have a LOT of good football players. Hopefully, we just got three of them. We still need a bunch more, and it's going to to take some time.
The good part is now we get these guys in immediately to start learning the system that Zorn is going to put together. I tend to think that we could really use an older vet at WR who is a high character type with lots of experience in the WCO. These guys are going to need a mentor who is a player to help their learning curve-ARE and Moss included.
Remember, Campbell is a mobile player and if our OL starts to collapse he's going to do some improvising with his feat. The passes come out quick too, which should nullify the pass rush somewhat. These are value picks who are not overpaid.
Our defense is looking extremely suspect, but when you have as many holes as we do, you can't fix everything with three players. We have passing game options now and that is clearly the priority for a Jim Zorn coached team. We are going to plug some other holes outside of the draft ala Pete Kendall I suspect as well. Let's just see how this plays out. I'm buying it so far, but then again I don't have high expectations for this year, so I'm taking this all with a grain of salt.
