There have been so many pro bowl receivers over the years who have not played for great offenses. I actually think it's one of the lowest impact positions on the field.
I still believe if you want a playmaker, look at the two stud safeties and choose between the two. Pittsburgh's defense looks pretty bad without Polamalu. The Ravens' defense revolves around Ed Reed. In a 3-4 defense, I would argue that a playmaking safety is almost as big of a difference maker (if not moreso) than a real good nose tackle.

You make a good point about impact Safetys. I remember the Colts SuperBowl year, their D looked like crap until Bob Sanders came back, but when he was in there it seemed liked their entire D improved. I'd prefer an impact SS, LB or DT w/ our first pick. But real problem is that O-line is really hanging the rest of the team out to dry. If we can fill the O-line's needs with FA's and mid rounders, I'm all for it, but I still think it needs to be priority #1 . I also agree about WR not being an absolute key ingredient. What amazing WR's did we have in 2003? Gonzo and Priest and Kennison are the only notable ones and 2 of them aren't even WR's.
