Jordan Cameron will be a borderline starter, which isn't bad... Isn't Ben Watson virtually gone? Not as if he's any good. Josh Cooper?! Plus Cribbs is 30 and a returner past his prime.
Get a #1 WR and a #1 QB and then we'll be talking. Upgrades on the O-line are needed too.
True. I forgot about Gordon. The rest is garbage. I'm a firm believer in building your offense first, and then getting your QB of the future, so if I were them, I'd get to work on bulking up their receiver corps.

The Colts, Bucs, & Rams in the 90s... the Packers in the 70s, the Lions in the early 2000s.... When all your high picks get wasted on either bad talent or good talent without the coaching staff to develop them.... the GM has no choice but to become a revolving door. b/c of just how much money they're losing. The worse part is it is like a domino effect... a single #1 draft bust can cost a franchise so much money... if they're not winning games they're not holding onto coaching staffs.... scouting staffs... these busts that aren't developing b/c of the 1st reason....
It's a horrible slide
Of course it can also produce situations like whats in San Francisco... tons of #1 picks... just needing the right coach to bring it all together. Doesn't their O-Line have 3 first round picks alone?
True. But to me, the scouting department is part of the coaching revolving door. Until teams can get some stability, the better QBs are going to avoid them, barring overpayment.
