This time last year everyone was talking about how bad our Defense was going to be. No Tackles, no DE (Rusher) Defense was our strongest suite. I said the Defense would be just fine with what we had, "No Miracle"

I'm going to say this year our WR are going to be just fine because I'm not going to compare what our new additions did with their previous teams. However, viewing the stats of both Moss and Patten the average YPC is better than anything we had last year. Eighteen yards per catch is far better than average, and while neither of them caught 90 balls like Coles did think what their total yards would look like if they did.

Plus, just their presence on the field will make life much more bearable for Portis. The Defense has to respect that speed, and getting that 8th man out the box will make a tremendous difference. Also drafting a Receiver at #9, even one of MW caliber commands a huge signing bonus and considerable $$ we're up against the cap. Many $$ already invested in the WR position.
