I haven't seen Griff cave in the pocket since 05. He's solid but he can't dominate and neither can Carter. Moss is not a #1 wr. He's too streaky, hasn't put up big numbers since 05 and injuries really seem to hurt his play. Plus he doesn't get in the end zone like Burress does and that's why we drafted Kelly and Thomas.

Taylor would help but we've already tried this experiment with Bruce Smith. It didn't work. Plus we're not really a SB contending type of team. It looks like we're in transition. New coach, new system on offense and so on. So why chase a 34 year old DE that makes 8 mil?? I just don't see him pushing us over the hump. We've just got too many question marks.

If one of these 2nd round guys fail it doesn't cripple the cap for the next 10 years like this Brandon Lloyd BS. I hope we keep on drafting, and add free agents here and there.

We dominated the trenches vs the GMen in NYC last year,

we only have a new Pass offense this year... our running game will be the same. We also have a lot of the coaches and systems on Defense and teams carrying over from last year

Burress is streaky and injury prone too

Bruce Smith was already on the decline and was a shell of his former self, Taylor has not shown any signs of slowing down to date

Moss does things that Burress can't too like stretch the defense with his speed. The difference between a Super Bowl and a playoff team is not so big, injuries and breaks play a big role. Who would have picked the Packers to do well last year in the preseason?
