i have to agree with tmd on this one

i don't think sanders is what we need

without blackmon we are missing a safe hands move the chains guy

the big guy you target on 3rd down with a quick slant who gets his body in the way and secures the ball at the marker to move the chains

 

but you hope blackmon would be back in some capacity this year so you need someone on a short term deal in case he gets it together

 

i mean right now we have shorts, brown, sanders, kerry taylor all small nippy guys and lewis our big redzone target

 

for me I think hakeem nicks will want too much cash and personally would rather we targetted sidney rice though i think he would want too much money as well

so I reckon we hold off and go for someone coming off a down year a bit later in free agency or even after the draft. Personally I wonder about miles austinwho has had a two bad years and struggles with hamstring injuries and a lack of confidence

he would probably take a 1 year incentive based prove yourself contract when he has started running out of options.

 

a new start and an opportoonity could be what he needs to get going again, if not well lets say blackmon is back week 6, you cut him for blackmon

 

just to note I would also draft a wide out as well giving you a stable of 6 wideouts. Personally I would prefer we drafted one in round 4 or lower but with the sheer number of talented wideouts in the draft i think you may get a stud drop to the 3rd.If moncreif went to denvers spot in the second i would trade up to snap him up in a heartbeat
