I do think we need a young stud with the potential to be a first or second WR on this team. I think Crayton is a great 3rd WR. I think Stanback is a really intriguing prospect but could still take a couple years to mold.
That being said, Glenn is at the end of the road. His knee is bone on bone. His speed is not guaranteed to return. I hope he gets 2 games in regular season to shake off the rust and then contributes as a deep threat in playoffs for us. If we get another season out of him next year as a role player that would be total bonus. Basically though, his time is in next 18 months at most.
TO isn't young anymore either. It takes a couple years usually to develop WR's. We either need to draft one pretty high AND hit on that guy (which is a big IF on WR's just ask Detroit). If TO went down we'd be in trouble.
Not sure if Hurd or Austin can make another step up or if they are as good as they are going to get.
I'd love Larry Fitzgerald, but don't know anything about his contract situation. Is he an unrestricted free agent as I've seen stated? I didn't think so. Plus, Arizona would be stupid not to transition tag or franchise this guy, worst case scenario, even if he truly wanted to leave. I think his upside and youth and (like so many other Arizona players) potential to do better in a change of scenery make him the most desirable guys out there if there is even the slightest sliver of a chance.
I'm not a huge fan of Cinci's Johnson and don't think he'd be a great fit with TO (only so much ME attention to go around).
I would really like to use our two first round picks and 2nd round pick on CB, WR, and RB, in no particular order. Adding speed at the skill positions would really push this team into super strong and deep status. I don't want to package players. If we can add 3 skill positioned high round draft picks I think it would be superior to one guy drafted higher after packaging a bunch of picks.
LarryCanadian.
