There wasn't much in the line of starting talent at the WR position in FA this off season so knowing if we didn't strike fast we wouldn't get our #2 WR.
Well, you'd be better off starting Ralph at the #2 WR spot then plucking any of the scrubs left in FA now.
Terrence Copper (6'-0" 207lbs)
DJ Hackett
D Jackson
I think that Hackett is the only legit option left and he hasn't talked a lick about Buffalo nor has Buffalo revealed any interest in him. He'll end up back in Seattle where he wants to be.
I checked all of the depth charts on every team in the NFL except our own division for players that would be likely options to trade for or any FA WRs floating around and there is nothing. The only player that perked my interest that could be lured away realistically was James Jones from the Packers. They have plenty of depth and Jones was undrafted. We would have to lure him away with a draft pick. Maybe a 4th with his potential in such a young career so far. He could be a #2 WR and do well IMO.
With the crao left in FA for WRs I am convinced that we are going to grab a WR and TE early as we all suspect at this point and I am not holding my breath on much improvement in our offense in 2008. I'm always realistic and optimistic but it'll be touhg to show improvement on that side of the ball unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat from the draft and you all know how often that "rookie" rabbit comes along. We really needed to pick up a veteran WR and TE. Might be one more year away from the playoffs unfortunately...
