I'd have said FS, and WR. I'm not sure who they would use at FS unless they are going into the yr as is. Haslett has said he's impressed with Landry's speed. If they can teach him to stop biting on the fakes then we'll survive another yr. WR bothers me. I'm not drinking the cool ade like some of you others. I keep hearing how the 3rd yr is usually the break out yr. What if ours don't break out?
It seems like looking at some spots people are satisfied with the we are in "rebuild" mode and other spots they are "no we need to push for better talent in order to do better then 4-12 and trying to make the playoffs."
I just don't see how people can be content at WR yet spastic about OL. Both have their issues. One won't solve the other. As of right now I see;
Moss and Thomas as our WR's.
Kelly and Mitchell are unknowns. I'm actually thinking Kelly might be a scratch after this preseason if he doesn't get his act together.
Hagans and Williams were scratches last preseason and now we have Austin... Rookie.
I don't feel comfortable. I just get a feeling T.O. is gunna be here. Like it or not he's better then whatever we have now and the HC never said "T.O. was not going to be a Skin." He said "T.O. is not in our plans right now." Which means maybe in May or June they sign a contract with him. There may already be an agreement that he will come on board, but to keep from having to show up now he's not signing his contract until later. I know some will think I'm wanting T.O., but what I'm wanting is a bona fide WR to help out Moss and Thomas. Marshall is gone. Who's left and who might be coming available soon?

I agree with you. TO has been humbled being let go from the Boys and being stuck on a shitty Buffalo squad. He won't make any waves here. He is at the point where the money is tight and he wants a ring. We desperately need a go to WR to open up things for not only Donovan, but to give Santana some help. Getting another small Wr was dumb. Should have drafted a FS instead of Austin. I can easily see TO coming here, maybe via a Rocky trade.
