There is no reason, as it is now, for us to spend #11 on WR or DB.
If we want to improve in our passing game, we need to improve our pass blocking, especially at C. Getting a TE who can actually catch the ball 4-6 times per game would also go a long way in moving the chains and scoring more points, which is kind of what you need in order to win. Turk could be more imaginitive with the playbook with better blocking from the line itself. If you have to rely on TEs and RBs to constently block 2-3 times per 4 down series, it severely handicaps your abilty to be creative and an NFL defense will eat you alive, just like they have to Buffalo for quite a few years now.
On the defensive side of the ball, we need to stay clear of any and all DBs in RD1. It's going to be amazing how much better our CBs and Ss look after we have some resemblance of a pass rush. If anyone is content with Schobel, Kelsay, and Denny in 09', you are in for a heartbreak. Improving the pass rush will take some pressure off of our DBs and allow for different looks that we seldom used last year due to our horendous lack of pass rush.
Of course it is hard to tell what will happen during the draft, especially considering FA hasn't even started yet. If we dramatically improve the DE, TE, and C positions in FA, then we could take a look at WR or DB in the 1st. But until our lines are solidified, we are never going to make the playoffs by grabbing WRs and DBs in the first. You need to work from the inside out in the NFL, not the other way around. Neither of our lines are playoff material. I think out our O-line is a bit closer but the D-line is sorely lacking. We need to generate more of a pass rush to make life easier for the other 7 guys.
