To me the biggest suprises are what's happened at the WR position.. At the end of last season I expected Coles to return, Gardner to be gone and for us to draft a WR in the 1st round.. Ok, Coles wanted out so we got Moss. I'm fine with the trade for Moss, Coles didn't exactly light up the scoreboard but his toughness will be missed. On draft day as much as CB was discussed I just KNEW that if Mike Williams was available they would take him. Shock # 2 when we drafted Carlos Rogers. With the NFL becoming more offense oriented and the huge need we had at that position last year I thought that was a no brainer.. Now we are going into the season with 4 WR from last year (Jacobs, Thrash, McCants, Brown although he's primarily a returner), Moss and Thrash and got nothing in return for Gardner (assuming his release). I think the 2nd weakest part of our team got a little weaker.
