Like I said, we did the best we could with Coles. That's the only turd in the bowl in my opinion of this offseason.

I think that Moss IS a nice receiver and we always seem to forget that Patten's YAC is ridiculous. Most of Moss' receptions go for first downs (77%) and Patten's YAC is around 20.0. Taylor Jacobs is poised for a break-out season (or a cut next year). We have Phillip Daniels returning who should provide a great rush and our other ends provided pretty good pressure up front.

The reason I mention our receivers is that I'm not just thinking about our team, I'm also thinking about what's available.

The only receiver in that was available this year that I would have liked to have had was Derrick Mason, but again at what cost? There were options available in the draft but WR wasn't REALLY a position of need. CB definitely was.

When I say we had a great offseason, I like to think of it in the whole picture of things. I'm still concerned about the Campbell pick, but as you said, time will tell about that one.

And also just like you said, we cleared up that we weren't going to overpay. To get the players that you stated that we needed (what was available in the offseason AND in the draft) we would have overpaid in either monetary funds or draft picks.

It's definitely subjective how you view this year's draft, but I think with what was available, ours was a success.
