Breaston would still be #4 behind Bowe, Baldwin, Moeaki, and often times even Charles. I don't see Cassel throwing for more than 3,500 yards in any given season. You'd expect Bowe, Baldwin, and Moeaki to account for about 2,500 of those. The RBs to account for probably 500. How much is there really leftover for a slot?
I'd be fine with a guy like Breaston if we had a Brees type QB who can put up over 4,000 yards. But given that Cassel + our love of running the ball is probably going to limit Cassel to about 200 yards a game, I think overspending on a slot is a waste.

Anybody can throw for 3500 plus in this league. If Haley gets a bug up his ass, he'll hit it easily. It's all about efficiency though. Hell, that POS Orton was on pace for about 5 grand at one point. Mostly "empty" yards though, so...
