I'm not shocked that no one took you up on that bet RamseyFan. The fact is, we sit here and try to be over-optimistic, and tell ourselves that we added Moss and Patten, our WRs are okay. But in our hearts, we can see clearly that we are not okay. Redskins fans bitched and moaned all of last season (well all of the last part of the season, at the beginning of the season there was too much Brunell bitching to fit in any other complaints) about our lack of effective WRs, and believe me, I was at the forefront. And whether we like to admit it or not, we have not improved on that area. It's easy to convince ourselves that we have, with all the changes, but at best we have broken even.
I can understand that if people aren't sold on Mike Williams, they might not want to trade up for him, but if he makes to number 9 he has to be ours, write it down, lights out, 3 minutes to make the pick. Not Antrel Rolle, not Pac-Man Jones, not Shawne Merriman. Nobody is enough to warrant passing on him.
With Williams, our WR corps is set for years. He is young, Moss is young, Jacobs is young. Those guys are absolutely the mirror image of Monk, Sanders, and Clark, and could be together for 6 years or more.
