Dear Annoyed,
Calling a Wr 'Smurf' is in reference to his height, not weight. Moss and Randle El are generously listed at 5' 10" tall. I have met both and they are not 5' 10" tall. They are 5' 9" with cleats on. I like both of them and I did not see a need to draft a WR, just because he is tall. We have other greater needs other than another WR and TE.
I was also referring to all of the recommendations before the 2008 draft for a tall WR because we did not have one and how that would help to solve our passing deficiencies. That is what I am referring to. Well our new tall WR's have not played much and our two shorter WR have done well. We are 4-1 and it looks like we did not NEED a tall WR or another TE.
