Zorn is on record as saying that Randle-El is moving into the slot and he's looking for another WR for the outside. We can hope and pray that Mix is that guy, but that's a stretch considering he's been nothing more than a practice squad guy for the past 3 seasons. Other than that we're counting on Caldwell (if he re-signs), McCardell (if he re-signs) or James Thrash? Yikes.

We've spent one first round pick (Campbell) on offense in the past 5 years, it's time to upgrade the WR corp.

We have had bad luck drafting WR's in the first round. Howard, Westbrook, and Gardner. We have been more fortunate taking DB's Green, Bailey, Taylor, and Rogers.

But it really doesn't mean anything, however I do not think that there is a tall WR worth a first round selection in this years draft.
