[general counsel]

if we go receiver in round one i for one will be irate. it would be very nice to have a talent like a ted ginn, but if our defense doesnt improve dramatically we are going nowhere. running a team is a balance between the present and the future. I dont see why anyone thinks that we are very far away from being a top competitive team next year. But it isnt going to happen without major help on defense. A receiver is a pick that is primarily for the future, even if we lose curtis.

I am not saying we cant look offense or even receiver somewhere in the draft, but not in round one and probably not on day one, depending on what transpires in free agency.

We are not going to live or die off our return game or the third wide receiver. we can sign mcdonald on the cheap or find a vet fill in if we lose curtis. In the cap era, you cant be strong everywhere, its a matter of allocation of resources and at this time, the defense needs to get the resources in a BIG way if we are to become contenders.

ramming speed to all
