Do we need upgrades at wide receiver?

[That Guy]

With the exception of the Patriots and maybe the Falcons, teams who are at or near the top of their respective divisions all have at least one stand-out wide receiver that many will regulary say belong in the Top Ten in the league. I maintain that Coles wouldn't be on that list.

last year coles was #7... seriously, the drops are only an issue cause our O sucks... WR numbers are down cause of brunell, if ramsey was in, we'd have much WR stats right now... and if you want to see teams that do drop a lot of balls, watch the titans or seahawks, i've watched a couple of their games, and they're truly awful when it comes to holding onto balls (probably the worst in the league).

still, if mike williams is up and its our pick, that's who i'd lobby for...

jacobs missed his entire rookie year and hasn't started any games... boldin and fitz came in and starters and played a lot, that's the easiest way to get better... the talent taken in the top 5 is generally far better than those in the latter part of the first round or into the second round.
