F, because teams like the Patriots and Giants show us that it starts in the trenches and we seem to want to ignore what successful franchises do.

F, because we are going to see a team that resembles the Spurrier team (after Marvin Lewis left).

F, because we have the worst management in all of the NFL.

YOUR PULLING DOWN THE CURVE!!

Coles was a good player for us...he had a little attitude and large salary which ultimately led to us getting Moss.

2. Decide Coles isn't right and trade him for Moss

See above, we lost nothing but a contract...that was a WISE move, not a poor one like you suggest.

3. Go get Brandon Lloyd for a 3rd and 4th

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it was only a 4th pick?
Yes, that was not a good move in hindsight, you can't always make the correct choice. This kid had talent and we didn't even try to throw him the ball.

4. Sign Randle El

Dumb move signing him for as much as we did, but overall, not a bad pickup. We needed stability as the PR position, and we wanted someone to create trick plays. Randle El was that guy. (still is)

5. Cut Lloyd

Needed to do that. Cut ties with what turned out to be a poor decision. FYI, there were SEVERAL teams that looked at Lloyd, not just us.

6. Decide Randle El and Moss aren't right and get two receivers with our 2nd rounders

You're assuming!
Clearly there is no doubt that both those guys are not #1's...we just drafted two possible condidates.

COME ON PEOPLE! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS

I think we all feel you are taking those pills too.

ps- Kiper had us as the NFC East winner with a B+ draft grade....just an FYI since he is an expert on the draft.
