Will he be better than Moss, Armstrong or Robinson in 2013 and most importantly, is he past his character issues?

I don't like the idea of spending anything higher then a 5th round pick on a future draft pick (from an already thin pool of picks) for a player that is not counted on to make an immediate impact.

Nevermind that he's a marginal productive player with a checkered personal history.

Drafting another WR adds to and further confuses/limits an already crowded glut of receivers with an as yet unquantified ability level based on playing time.
And imo you cannot make a personnel decision about a player until you have somewhat of a quantified evaluation of their ability level.
