Plus

2003: Free Agent - L. Coles
2005: Trade - Santana Moss

If any of the 4 WR's drafted in the first two rounds had become bonafide starters, we would have a decent WR situation with Moss still playing at a relatively high level.

Seriously 2004-2007, four years and not one WR drafted. Yes we brought in free agents, but that was "win now" mode. Then 2008 is catch up mode and and so far none of them have panned out.

It would be nice to see the Colts or Patriots model of drafting and building a team going forward. That is all I was saying.
