In the 6th, 7th we get more depth along both lines.

Thomas and Kelly might not start but I expect they will both play significant roles in multiple WR sets.

Yes. I agree. But I think the hope is that they become "the tandem" two or three years from now. While neither is a burner, I imagine the thought is that Thomas becomes a deep threat and Kelly the underneath guy.

Here's a radical and hopeful thought - Thomas and Kelly become good enough to be the one and two with Santana being the 3rd to add deep speed and a change of pace WR.

Wow a 4th rounder for Fabian Washington, thats a steal. Yeah I started to watch espn earlier in bed and it sucked. So i migrated to the living room where the SAT. is, and turned on NFL Net.

That would have been a well recommended trade by me.... hopefully we have some guys on our board to fill some back up defensive backfield
