I guess I like the idea simply because he's a big guy, but he's not a very good receiver. He looked great back when he was a #3 behind Rice and Brown and he hasn't shown me much since that time. I'm not sure I'm in favor of bringing him in, he's not a significant upgrade over anyone we have on our roster (I mean starting). I guess he could move Randle El into the slot, but then Randle El would be starting again by week 6 when Santana gets hurt.

I think this team really needs to get an elite receiver, be it through the draft or whatever. I do agree that giving up a #1 for Chad is too much, but there has to be a cheaper route. If not, I'd rather spend the 2nd round pick on a wide out.
