Do you think we could trade for an elite WR in the offseason?

[Silock]

Surely there are some teams that would be willing to give up an elite WR (like a Chad Johnson) for some draft picks to help their rebuild.

Or do you think we'll continue to try to build through the draft?

[jAZ]

What makes you think Chad Johnson is an elite receiver?

[Dave]

Our QB will still be Matt Cassel.

dude. the trade deadline is over.

Ochocinco sucks, he was a whiny baby tonight when TO kept getting the ball

Which is why I said "offseason" in the title.

I'm not saying we should trade FOR Ochocinco; just someone like him.

sorry I forgot to add the smiley

[Thig Lyfe]

We shoulda got Boldin. I think the thing between him and Haley was overblown.

Why would you trade for someone like a declining, 32 year old malcontent who can't get any separation and isn't a deep threat, when the biggest problem with this team on the outside is that we have a declining, 32 year old psycho who can't get any separation and isn't a deep threat?

[DoucheMcCloud]

There are always good receivers to be found throughout the draft.

Jacoby Ford was a 4th rounder. Steve Breaston was a 5th. Marques Colston was a 7th. Welker was undrafted. Julian Edelman was a 7th.

And on and on and on and on.

Trading for a receiver would be ****ing dumb.

For one thing, again, I'm not necessarily saying that HE should be the target of an acquisition; just someone in his position, which is a good player on a crappy team.

Secondly, I think he could do well on another team that needs him, but doesn't completely suck. I think a player in his position could be contained by a guy like Haley, yet the ego in the player still want to prove that he's a great talent. It worked for Corey Dillon. He filled a hole.

Speaking of Steve Breaston - he will be a free agent. I say sign him and draft a receiver as well. Hell we have nothing behind Bowe and please don't say McCluster. He ain't no WR.

[Chiefs=Good]

Just stick to the draft. Were a young team, we can afford to wait a bit for one to develop..

What are the chances of us finding all the WR help we need in the draft? Because we need a LOT of help there. I mean, not only do we need guys who can actually catch, but we need at least one deep threat.

Come on, Dude, ****!

Mike Williams was a 4th this year. Mike Wallace was a third last year. Louis Murphy was a 4th in 2009.

ANY of these guys and the others I mentioned were late rounders that quickly made an impact. It's up to the scouting department to make it happen.

**** trading for an old ****.
