Yes, our WR's haven't produced. Kelly was by far the most polished product, and he was suffering with injuries since before the season began. Devin Thomas was basically a one year wonder. He has all the physical pieces in place, but he needs to learn the game before becoming an integral part of the offense. Everyone here knows it takes most receivers a long time to develop. According to what I've been hearing on NFL radio, besides QB, WR is one of the hardest transitions in the NFL.

I agree the Skins few FA picks worked out but what did it really get them? IMO, not much as the Skins ended up on the outside again. The teams that know how to do it bring in one or 2 FAs as the last piece of the puzzle. The Skins arent that close yet and they brought in more than that.
Only the Skins would have used their picks last year for 2 WRs and a TE. When the Skins do draft it seems as if they dont have a plan.
For better or worse this owner spends enough $ so that the Skins are never really bad enough to get a #1 or 2 pick. Unfortunately that means they are stuck in this 7-9 to 9-7 range that if all the lucky stars line up they get in the playoffs otherwise they are out and drafting mid pack.
