I agree that we need young talent at RB, especially a between-the-tackles runner.When you don't have any RBs, your desire for a better WR rings hollow. The young Offensive linemen WILL get better. How much is the only question. After all they were only good enough to get to the AFCCG.
Everyone would love to get a young Randy Moss but there is no draft pick to get him, even if he were in the draft. Teams with great WRs have CAP problems and seldom go far in the Playoffs. RBs only have so many carries in them. Signing a older vet there is just plain stupid, especially if he has had much hard use, like a Forte.
I also agree that signing an older vet does not solve the problem of needing fresh, healthy legs both now and in the future.
However, we also need young talent at WR (and at OT & Move TE).
