Galloway will be replaced by a draft pick, same with Kelly, or an undrafted WR. We are bound to find a good solid WR or a new Armstrong next year.

There are always people who want to "build through the draft". I'm one of them. But the *reality* is that it is REALLY HARD to pick a WR. And we *really* suck at picking WRs.

Here's our last 20 YEARS of drafting WRs.

2010: Rd 7 - Terrence Austin
2009: Rd 7 - Marko Mitchell
2008: Rd 2 - Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly
2003: Rd 2 - Taylor Jacobs
2002: Rd 3 - Cliff Russell
2001: Rd 5 - Darnerien McCants
2001: Rd 1 - Rod Gardner
2000: Rd 7 - Ethan Howell
1999: Rd 7 - Tim Alexander
1998: Rd 6 - Pat Palmer
1997: Rd 4 - Albert Connell
1996: Rd 7 - DeAndre Maxwell
1995: Rd 1 - Michael Westbrook
1994: Rd 3 - Tydus Winans
1992: Rd 2 - Desmond Howard
1992: Rd 11 - Terry Smith
1991: Rd 12 - Keenan McCardell
1989: Rd 4 - Erik Affholter
etc. etc. etc..

My point is -- sure, we can build through the draft -- for offensive linemen, linebackers, etc. Vinny's not here anymore, but WR's are really hard to predict and draft well. Not to mention all of our other holes (LB, RB, C, NT, QB, etc).
