We had 2 1000+yrd WRs and very promising young talent, not to mention we are looking at the best passing offense in the NFL.

How many times did we have 3rd and long and we had no one who could go out, physically match up, block out against a DB and grab the big reception to keep a drive going or even score?!?

We can move the ball up and down between the 20's with the best of them...

But we often struggled in 3rd and longs and in the red zone on particularly crucial conversions and it showed in the W-L column...

And this is why you grabbed the rarer talent; I'd have have a number of rotational, younger guys on defense; guys that will still be there in later rounds...

But since age has caught up with Colston and the Graham trade, we haven't had that defense killer that kept drives going or that jumpball red zone threat..
