And I don't trust a guy with two last names...

As much as I agree that those positions need addressing, the team failed last year because the offense couldn't convert in times of need. As soon as teams started taking Kamara and Thomas out of the game, we relied on guys like Kirkwood, Tre'Quan, Carr, Lewis and Arnold - who all proved that they could not compete come playoff time.

Only guy that helped us was Ted Ginn, but those guys had a ton of opportunities to be "the" guy in crunch time and failed.

That's why I think another WR is very high on our list of needs.

With the exception of Tommylee, everyone of those guys you named have one thing in common - they were all in their first full season in the NFL...

Now they've got a full season and a full offseason, now no longer starstruck, go into the office each day with Hey, Drew instead of OMG, I can't believe that's Drew Brees...

Everyone of those guys except for the diminutive Tommylee Lewis who can't offer sh!t on punt returns (or doesn't really want to) will likely make this team and make some impressive plays on the Run to the Lombardi...
