Thanks SmootSmack.

Bernard Berrian definitely had the best season of these guys with 951 yards 5 TDs recieving, the year before he had 775 yards 6TDs, and he is 27. He doesn't seem like a bad option - the only downside really is that he isn't very tall at 6'1, but the need for a tall receiver is questionable, especially considering he had 47 first downs. Not too Shabby

Bryant Johnson seems like he also might be worth giving a shot. He hasn't broken 600 yards receiving yet in his career, and he hasn't scored many points, but look who he is playing behind. At 26 years old this 6'3 216 lb WR might be a good option as our #2 or #3 WR.

One thing is for certain, we need to replace Brandon Lloyd. I like Caldwell and McCardell, but how much longer will they be with us? We need a young prospect at WR that could eventually become an impact player for us. We may be able to put this off for another year, but I think that we would be testing fate to go into the season without another talented young WR waiting in the wings just in case (God forbid) Moss or Randel El get injured.

Do you think we can afford any of these guys? Are any of them worth investing in? Are we better off trying to develop Mix or a someone on the practice squad? Should we consider looking in the draft?
