Our WRs in 2009... My Thoughts

[Skins n Vols]

It would be absurd to draft a WR in 2009. We need to focus on O-line, D-line, and maybe a LB in the later rounds with Fletch getting older and MW falling off.

I agree, draft should go to rebuilding the O line, a LB, and a CB for depth. I do think making a play for TJ would be good though via FA. Guy is a gamer stuck on a crappy team. Trade Randle El if need be for more picks, but I think the idea of acquiring TJ isn't so crazy.

That stinks, didn't know that. I like Randle El, but he might be the only one that would be worth anything in terms of trade bait. I guess only by trading down we will get more picks, but we do need high round linemen, so there goes the more picks plan.

We could've used another OL man and one less WR in the last draft but hindsight is 20/20.
Don't use another draft pick for another WR whatever you do. At least not this year. TJ would be good if we can get him at a moderate price. It seems to me that the more money they spend on a guy the worse he does. I don't see the point in keeping ARE if we can get something for him besides dead cap if there is any.

Receivers can be deceiving. It's one of the most situational positions there is. Did we not learn from Lloyd? Remember Peerless Price? How about all the receivers Favre made look good over the years (Javon Walker, Antonio Freeman) or Brady (Branch). Hell, even Coles didn't pan out.... and oh yeah, Randle El. "Good" WRs go to other teams all of the time and under-produce. Develop the young guys. Anyone that plays Fantasy Football knows that year 3 is a big year for many wide-outs. Guys go from 300 yard seasons to 1200 yard seasons every year. Kelly and/or Thomas could be future studs.
