Maybe it's time for me to admit defeat...Royal's apparently all but signed in San Diego

It will be interesting to see where he will land on the depth chart over there. WR is a wide open competition over there, and they have no true #1 so far.

We kept Garcon from SD but lost Royal to SD...I can live with that.

I'd rather keep Moss AND Gaffney. He's only played all 16 games once in his 4 years in the league anyway. Royal has done essentially nothing since 2008, his only big stat year.

Niles Paul can return.

Niles Paul hasn't proven he can return or catch effectively yet, just block effectively. He tips our hand whenever he gets on the field, which negates his prowess at blocking.

One of Moss or Gaffney needs to get the snip-snip, since it makes no sense to have two possession guys who don't scare defenses deep.

I don't hate our offensive line. I don't think our right side is very good, but I would rather re-tool the line than rebuild it from scratch.

Can any one explain to me what the big deal is about signing E Royal? Other then his age what is the up side of him over Moss? ER is nothing special and Moss has a few more good years left in him and we can find a better WR than Royal in the next year or so.

Our left side was actually pretty decent until Stieger got hurt and Williams got suspended. I think Chester would be better with a better center (Myers perhaps or Steiger if we signed Briesel to play LG) playing next to him. Not sure about Brown, he seems like a solid backup but done as a starter at this point.

As far as getting outbid on Royal...thank god we did. One of the worst regular offensive players in football the last three years. Better options out there with Steve Smith, Jairus Wright, Eric Page, or even Moss.

If we moved him to C or even left guard, he'd work well there and his contract would look a lot better.

I think Jammal Brown actually has a nice skill set to slim down just a bit and play a ZBS right guard. He lacks the footwork to play tackle, but could do what Mike Williams did for us in 2009.

Anyway, that's how you could upgrade at two or three positions on the OL while keeping the same set of starters. Just have to add a RT then in the draft.
