What has really changed?
Chad Jackson- is hurt and who knows what his timetable is as far as getting back, but it was not like he was a part of the offense really.
Troy Brown- I hope that he actually comes back for another season, if not, I think replacing him is much more important than Jackson.
Now I realize that Gaffney and Caldwell are signed for this next season (I think) so building for the future is something to be looked at, but we have holes that need to be filled for this coming season that warrant using our 1st round picks on. Of course it all depends on who is and is not available when we pick, but I just feel the talent level at other positions is higher than that of the WR's who are going to be available at 24 and 28
Almost everyone here complained how Jackson did not produce at all this season even though he was regarded by most as the best reciever in last years draft. Do you think drafting one this year is going to make a difference? Most WR's have a tough time contributing their rookie season, so will a 1st rounder really help as much as someone taken in round 2 or 3 depending on who is available.
I am not too high on any of the WR's with 1st round grades besides Calvin Johnson, so maybe I am biased on this. I don't mind Bowe from LSU but think that a guy like PAul Williams or the guy from Washington State could be better value available in round 3.
Just my 2 cents worth, am I off on my evaluations of the WR's and their role as a rookie?
