Another thing about the CB position, I think we are set for this year with Springs/Harris, with Wilds at nickleback, but it would be great if we could do similar to what the Eagles did and have a couple young guys ready to take over for Springs and Harris in a year or a couple. I think Wilds may be one of those guys, and if we draft a CB in round 1 or 2, we'll have the other.
I like that idea. Hopefully we wouldnt have to do it like the Eagles did. If we could gradually work them in. That is the cheapest way to go.

I'm curious... so if Williams was available with out #1 pick would you pass him up?
I assume we're talking about Troy Williamson. The answer is yes. We have already addressed our starting WR corps. Sorry for the dose of reality. :oink:

That's the plan. Springs and Harris are very capable, but you can't ignore thier ages. Wilds and Jimoh will probably battle for the dime spot. :oink:

He means Mike Williams.
Here's a "dose of reality" for you, Bosshog. Our receivers are unproven and need to be worked on. For all we know Moss may walk after this year, Patten has only ever been a #4 in a good offense, Jacobs hasn't seen the field, we've seen what thrash does as a starter, and McCants until I [b]see{/b] otherwise is still in Gibbs doghouse. If we have a chance to get Edwards or Williams - take it. No need to draft a #2 we have four of those. CB isn't a huge concern, though it should be addressed in the near future. We have lots of young guys with talent that our coaching staff wants to look at.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Browns are going to release Lavars buddy Cortny Brown and we might get him at D.E. (You heard it here first)
Then we could draft a WR or CB. Just a thought.
Gibbs did say yesterday that we still could sign some released players. :pi_lightb

Anyone we draft is also unproven.....
Don't forget...we've gotten screwed in the past for getting the "Cream of the crop" WR from the draft:
Desomond Howard, Michael Westbrook

Tell that to coach. This isn't of my design. You know how Gibbs covets the veteran. Yes we laid an egg with the contract of Brunell but fared much better with Portis. My question to you is what has Mike Williams proven other than his slow ass 40 times? This is Gibbs way. Not mine. :oink:

Yes, things are going to change in the upcoming weeks. I would hate to see another injury prone DE (see Daniels) signed. :oink:
