Hester sucks as a receiver, and he hasn't been nearly as productive as a returner without Taub.

Hester led the league in KR yards last year...

Looking strictly at the FAs, i'm not impressed by top end talent. Baldwin is ascending into a legit 1B type of guy, can fill in as #1 but very solid #2 and can move all over, inside and out.

Unrestricted FAs I think we should focus for value plays, and draft a high potential prospect:

Sanders tops my list as WR2, would bump Avery to spread formations
McCluster my 2nd option to resign (just don't overpay for a utility WR), already knows the system and performed fairly well in spots, still need WR2 upgrade
Roberts, a slot replacement and can move outside as well, better WR but not a returner like Dex

Don't expect Edelman to be available
James Jones & Decker too expensive
Cribbs & Hester on the wrong side of KR help
Nicks and Maclin unreliable for the price tag
NOT interested in Tate, Cooper, Britt, Lafell, DHB

Just don't see any help from anyone else...

He did, but that's kind of a flawed stat since all yards count even when you bring it out of the end zone. If you take every kick 5 yards deep in the end zone and run them out to only the 15, that's a 20 yard average...I know it's the same for everyone but kinda shows how the stats can be manipulated.
