I remember when we first got him...reading the NYG message boards. They were genuinely pissed that they let him go... (granted they probably got over it fairly shortly)
Mix earned his his spot on this team in 08, and has himself an opportunity to get a hard look as a 3rd or 4th wide out. He's the kind of receiver (size wise) that everyone (including me) has been saying we need. He'll get his shot... and that's far more than I would have ever expected out of some no-name NYG castoff. I share the optimism felt for him... but he realistically holds little value at this point.
I think it's a mistake to stay pat with the WR's we've got. We've got two slot type guys in ARE & Moss, and it gets awfully ambiguous as to what's left on the roster.
What do I think we need? Possession type? Yeah... but that's a pretty broad term. I think we need someone big, that runs solid routes across the middle... someone that will force the safeties to cheat in. Doesn't have to be a speedster, but has to mismatch against LB's. We need a threat across the middle. Someone to give ARE and Moss the sidelines for screens and fades.

Here's a random snapshot I took of special teams huddled up during the buffalo game. Mix looks pretty big compared to some of those other guys.
