Santana Moss (possibly)

Brandon Banks
Terrence Austin
Niles Paul
Aldrick Robinson
Taurus Johnson

Also, still technically on roster:
Roydell Williams, Mike Furrey, Maurice Price

Plus:
Cooley
Davis
Paulsen

I liked our draft for a change. But -- why exactly did we take three WR? Reminds me of when we took three pass catchers in round 2 a couple of years ago. They were all late draft picks, so I don't care as much, but... Perhaps they knew the hit rate on these draft picks is about 20-30% in the later rounds, and so if they took 3 one should work out.

Would have liked to address O-line, as all of us have said. Ah well, there's free agency.. I think.

Nothing is actually addressed until the picks pan out, if they ever do. NONE of our WRs beyond Armstrong and maybe Moss, if he comes back, have shown that they are a "must-lock", not even Hank. Trying to get better depth on a team sorely lacking in it is hardly a crime, especially since building a Hogs-like OL is almost impossible nowadays.
