Our Current status at the WR position

[Paintrain]

Those are pretty hollow stats unfortunately as between the three of them, they had 12 TD which is a good year from a #1 WR, not from a trio.

Moss would make a killer slot WR, Armstrong can be a #3 on a good team but is our #2 and Cooley is solid as a TE. If we have a true #1 and a QB that can make it work one thing is shown by these numbers, the system works! We don't need to completely overhaul the WR corp but people need to be in their proper roles. Austin and Banks can provide some depth but they are both #4 WR max on a good team. Expect this unit to be addressed in free agency and maybe in the middle of the draft.

While I agree w/your overall thinking, wr is almost as likely to be a 1st or 2nd round pick as any. I could see them taking a wr if the guy they like falls back. I think there are such an array of deficiencies that there are several positions that could be addressed in the top rounds.

Depending on what we do at some key spots in FA (assuming it's before the draft) I would love to see us picking AJ Green out of Georgia at #10. I don't think we will but he's got Megatron-lite written all over him.

Haven't watched him play.. just watched his 2010 highlights, kid can ball



kid's NEVER fumbled in college but on some plays he could protect the ball better, switch hands, etc.. guess he's pretty strong

and that Murray kid at QB, efficient, quick, he could end up being something pretty special too

I totally agree with you. We really need to go after a true #1 receiver. Moss at the slot and Armstrong as a #3 and have we forgot about Malcom Kelly!!!!! I think we need to address #1 in free agency
