I agree that the WR were bad, however, I think if Patten hadn't gotten hurt they would have been fine. I don't think that a legit #2 is that important because I think we already have one. We do need more depth at WR, but I'm not of the opinion that it's as big of a need as everyone else. I think we should focus on getting a big, possession type guy to be the #3 wide out on this team, or possibly push Patten, but I don't think that it's the biggest hole. I definitely disagree that O Line depth is a bigger hole than DE.

I do think that the WR corps needs to be upgraded, but I don't think that we need a new starter. The Skins have needed a legit pass rusher for like a damn decade now, but they never pick that up.

As for what ended the season? That's debatable. The most glaring problem was the offense and the passing game. But Brunell was obviously banged up and was very ineffective. I'm not saying he should be replaced, or anything like that, but what I am saying is that the last few games would have looked much different if Brunell were healthy. I think if Brunell and Patten can develop a chemistry like he has with Moss and Cooley that there's no need to go out and spend a lot of dough on a #2 wide out. I think better depth is all we need.
