Reed Doughty isn't a playmaker. We need a playmaker next to Laron Landry and someone with more range so we don't have that nonsense like 2006. Doughty is not a
proven starter, but he
DID execute as a backup and special teams where he should continue to play. I don't mean to "hate" on this guy either, because I liked the way he performed at the end of the year with pressure.
If it were me, I'd stay away from wide receivers in the draft. I'm not a fan of drafting these guys especially with our luck. Besides we really are overlooking ourselves here. Santana Moss and Antwaan Randel-El are both good receivers.. it just becomes a question of their health and size. They can't change their size but if they take extra steps in stretching, etc..they could limit their injuries. Complimenting them, at tight-end, is Chris Cooley who sometimes seems alot like a receiver with his route running. In fact teams are beginning to focus on trying to limit his touches per game. That leads to Anthony Mix who could do workouts in preparation for this year focusing on his hands and red-zone ability. I've seen some videos on him and I think he could be very talented and weapon for us this year if he has the proper work ethic.
