Hopefully ARE and Moss get traded cause they need to go.
If they have any trade value. Moss will get you more, but not much. I would be happy with a third rounder but don't think its likely. ARE might get us another vendor for the bathroom and a window washer. He did look like he was washing windows everytime he went back for a punt.

I do not want to see any moves made with the WR position other than internally. Our WR corps is fine and can be great.
Devin Thomas comes back healthy next year and needs to be the Starting Z, based on his performce late in the season I think that he earned it.
Malcolm Kelly I believe should be ready to step into the X position if he can continue to do what he did last week.
I have a feeling that Moss can be the best slot reciever in the league (better than Welker) we just need to put him there and get more production from 1 of the other 2.
Many people do not like ARE because he is not a good return man. Like it or not he has some of the most reliable hands in the league. Look at the stats in the "Are we over rating our players?" thread. His agility also make him another legitimate threats out of the slot when we are 4 wide.
Marko Mitchell is a nice prospect and provides depth at the X position if nothing else.
On top of all of that we have two very good TE's. There is no need to give up anything to fix what isn't broke, especially if in the process it hinders our depth at another position. Where would the team have been when Cooley got injured if we didn't have Davis? I wouldn't want to imagine.

No WR's...we need better OL & QB play before we even know how good the WR's we have can be.
That's what I'm talking about!!
I want five of the brightest, strongest, athletic and most disciplined players I can possibly find across my front, and five more to back them up if possible.
On the defensive front they don't necessarily have to be smart, just give me eight guys for a rotation that on Sunday's will for four quarters hit somebody in the mouth and dare them to say anything. DB's who when the ball is in the air, have the attitude that it belongs to them.

I agree with Angry for the most part here, but...
I don't like ARE because he can't do anything after a catch other than fall down. If he is our #4WR he is way overpaid and needs to be shown the door.

Nope..move Kelly and Thomas to 1/2 and drop Moss to the slot. That immediately better use of their talents.
great idea. and Moss has been in the league 8 years. doesn't that make him a veteran?

Maybe if we're talking a number 4 or number 5 receiver as somewhat as an afterthought (or if we get rid of ARE or Moss or something).

I get what you guys are saying, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be ignoring other spots. I wouldn't draft a WR or trade for one... FA or something, sure. That doesn't take anything away from OL or QB.
I'd like to see Thomas and Kelly have the 1/2 put on their shoulders, Moss in the slot, Mitchell getting some love at 4, and ARE in another uniform.

The only guy I'd want is Marshall. Kelly had one good game the whole year. And the one good game he had was against back ups. Marshall makes everyone on the field better. If he's avialable we need to try and get him.

You mean "if he's not benched for a bad attitude"?
And again, Shanny and Marshall had a fallout in Denver. It is unlikely that Shanny wants to repeat that experience.
