Well, the first part of my post was I would like to sign Haloti Ngata but that's fine. If you don't think that Bailey of Asomugha can't help us on defense then you're clearly smoking wayyy cheaper stuff than I am. They're just better players than Butler, Arrington, and Bodden. When you replace some players with better players you tend to get better, unless I'm missing something.
I got the average height from a FootballOutsiders article I read earlier in the year. I can't find it and don't have the patience to look for it so I'll cede that to you. However, that still doesn't mean you're right about us having enough height at WR. I never said talent was a problem at WR, only the groups ability to go up and catch it over others. If you're happy with our tallest WR being a hair over 6'0", that's your prerogative. I'd like to have at least one WR being taller than our oppositions DBs.
Most of posts in the Draft Talk forum have been focused on getting defensive front seven players and offensive linemen in the draft. The fact of the matter is there aren't a whole bunch of good FA OL and DL coming out. Can you really be excited about Richie Incognito? I want Mankins back but beyond him there aren't many OL that grab your attention. I'd rather take an OL or 2 in the draft and spend the available cap space on someone who can make a difference or give us something on the field we don't have.
I want Brandon Tate to do well too but outside of a few flashes in the pan, his skills at WR left a lot to be desired. He has great speed but drops way to many easy passes, runs sloppy routes, and he doesn't have great size. Adding a WR doesn't close the book on him by any means because he has great value as a return man but I'm not interested in bringing guys along at this point. We have maybe 3 or 4 years of contending teams left before we fall off the map for a while and I want to win. Waiting around for some guys to get their **** together isn't going to do it.
