Do you guys think it'll be an either/or situation? Meaning that we have to take a WR or DE in FA and then draft whatever we didn't get? I can see us being able to sign a decent WR and DE in FA. We could then use the picks on a DE project or WR project that won't affect us so much if they don't work out.
The motto for our FO is to look into FA first!
There have been some pretty good observations from all of the above posters.
Some new posters whose screen names I don't recognize, but want to welcome them to TheWarpath.net!

I think this will all come down to cap space and how much we clear...It will also depend if we let Wynn go or not. If we keep him, it would be better to draft a PassRusher behind him, then kill Cap to sign a FA. There are alot of WR out there in FA and this draft isn't the deepest for WR's. Also the type of WR we need would be better served if he has experience, so we know they can go across the middle...which leads me to think we go FA for WR and Draft for DE...What do you guys think?

neither drafted DEs nor WRs have immediate impacts... so if we're trying to go all the way we'd need to FA the DE (the DEs left at pick 24 in round 2 (52 overall) aren't going to be instant starters or upgrades over what we have until they have at least a year to learn), or forgo an upgrade there... its not super ultra important, but in the playoffs it would be. Wynn can play DT, so if the skins are still super high on him, he still has a place too.
I think if you got byrd or moss with the #2 they could come in and help day 1. Otherwise you could always take spencer as a stud backup G/T and possible upgrade to dockery.
