Re: what about the 5th round pick?
as far as who could help immediately - i think sepulveda would be the starter right after signing and frost wouldn't be able to even keep it close. I think courtney brown could see action immediately, since he'd probably be competing against ade jimoh as the #4 corner, and he'd have a decent chance at winning out there since his speed and size help make up for his lack of NFL experience.
allen barbre has GREAT speed and good vision, but needs work on his technique. he shows flashes though, and with good coaching, he might figure it out in a couple years. MUCH better prospect than wilson or molinaro from 2004. would probably only be 3rd string this year, but as a longer term project, he has a chance to really pay dividends if he puts it together.
wendling and wolfe would basically be special teams players, though wolfe might be able to challenge rock for the #3 RB, not that that'd really make a dent on the overall team talent meter :/. in the longer term, he'd provide a very cheap price/performance backup if we had to trade or drop a running back for cap reasons later on.
we have an overload at WR after moss and el... thrash, lloyd, and patten are pretty interchangeable in terms of their impact on games. stuckey has the most upside, but it'd be hard to prove he deserved to be a #3 with a coaching staff so dedicated to veterans and production that'd probably only equal said vets.
