Its early, but if these teams improve as much as they are rumored to be, we need to make some sort of move. I would be more inclined on making a move to bring a top notch corner vs a WR.

key word is "talking". We've been "talking" about Roy Williams, Chad Johnson, Trufant and many others.
Moss isn't leaving NE, they'll pony up for him. Stallworth - fast but nothing special, Walker - injury problems, plus we have been rumored to be talking to him, Zach Thomas - who cares. D. Hall - overrated & psycho, the Falcons are wanting a #1 for him and in the same article as the Moss rumor it mentions the Giants aren't willing to pay Hall's asking price, Asante Samuel - did you see the Super Bowl & there are rumors his best days are in the rear-view. Plus any of these guys that can play (Moss, Hall, Samuel) will demand a mega-contract that will eat a tremendous amount of cap space or have major cap ramifications within 3-4 years.
We need to stay on course; target 2-4 reasonably priced FAs (Hackett, Florence) who fill specific needs and draft DL & CB in the 1st & 2nd round. We don't need to break the bank on an overpriced FA CB. Outside of Samuel & Hall, what top-level FA CBs are out there who could help us. Asomugha & Trufant were franchised.
