When we looked at WR going into the season we saw it as an area of great depth. Moss and Welker back again with the addition of Galloway to take some heat off Moss deep. Tate healing from a knee injury with big play potential. Edelman a Welker clone who will continue to improve.
Now we look at it after the season, and it's an area with a ton of question marks. Welker's injury is a devastating blow to our WR corps, hopefully he's a quick healer. Moss has one year left, battled through some injuries this year, and isn't getting any younger. Edelman was a great draft pick and is a great slot guy. Aiken isn't a threat at to do anything, and Tate suffered another knee injury.
I really think we need to go after a guy like Marshall or Jackson. 2010 will most likely be Moss' last year with us, and we will need a #1 WR to replace him. Marshall or Jackson both fit that criteria. We will most likely be without Welker to start the season, and need another legitimate threat across from Moss. Moss, Marshall/Jackson, Edelman would be a good top 3 to start, with adding Welker and/or Tate midway through the season a good possibility.
You let Moss walk after 2010 and for 2011 you have Marshall/Jackson, Welker, Edelman. You will know by 2011 if Tate is a keeper or garbage. I still think with those two first round picks you try to grab a good talent like Green, Jones, Floyd, or Baldwin. That would give you Marshall/Jackson and Green/Jones/Floyd/Baldwin opposite him with Welker and Edelman in the slot. If Tate becomes a legit WR threat, then we probably wouldn't make a play for a 1st round WR.
The more likely scenario is probably keep Moss for 2010, sign/draft 1-2 middle of the pack guys, increase Edelman's role, add in Welker and Tate midseason. Then I think we'd let Moss walk after 2010 or bring him back for cheap money if he wants a shot at a ring, and we draft a Green/Jones/Floyd/Baldwin in the first round to give us a 2011 of a slower and older Moss, Welker, Edelman, Green/Jones/Floyd/Baldwin, and hopefully Tate.
