As for all these wideouts, let's look at the numbers from our dudes last year:
Moss -- 93 catches, 1115 yards, 6 TDs, his longest was 56 yards
Armstrong -- 44 catches, 874 yards, 3 TDs, longest reception was 76 yards.
Are these are typical numbers for a number one and number two duo?
Here's the rest ...
Joey Galloway -- 12 for 173 yards (longest was 62 yards)
Banks -- 2 catches for 10 yards
Roydell -- 8 for 109 yards (longest was 34 yards)
Terrance Austin -- 3 for 47 yards (longest was 28 yards)
^None of these guys scored a receiving TD.
Let's face it, apart from the returning capabilities of Banks, there's just not a whole lot here. I'd say we have receiving corps that's ripe for some competition...

Agreed.
I think people thought we'd be set with the 3 rookies and holdovers from last year, and in a normal offseason that might have been the case. But this is not a normal offseason and expecting these guys to be ready with just training camp is crazy talk. Fact is we need vets who can play now while we bring along the young guys slowly.
