Moreno is too prone to injury, he's a glass RB. I'd rather see Forsett. Murray would be waste of money, IMO.
Maclin would be my first choice at going after a WR. Dez is going to be too pricey, and too small a chance he's not returning anyway.
Personally, I'd really like to see some help for our atrocious defense. Some CBs and a safety maybe, but I haven't looked into who's available from FA.
I'd be okay with Foresett, but I wouldn't say no to Moreno, who has been great when he isn't hurt (unlike McFadden, who was bad when he was healthy).
Maclin would also be my first choice, and we can certainly pay for him. I don't know if he wants to leave the Eagles, but we'll see.
And yeah, DBs need MAJOR help. Rod Woodson coming in should make a big difference. Last year we went big in FA for some CBs and came up with junk...not sure we'll be able to do any better this season, we'll see. But defense can be fixed up at any point, I'd like to see the focus on helping Carr develop as well as possible, and that means some help at RB and maybe WR...maybe even OL, but I was pretty pleased with our OL last season.

Shorts isn't really that explosive. He gets open with his route running, but the guy just drops too many passes. He's a very hard worker though and he doesn't have the huge diva attitude like a lot of WRs. He'll make a nice catch here and there, but he flat out drops the easiest of easy catches.
I like Shorts and all, but I'm kinda glad we probably wont be seeing those huge drive killing drops from him anymore.
If you guys can get him for about 4 mil a year, then that would be a good deal. If you guys, or somebody else pays him the 35ish mil over 4-5 years like I've seen projected, that'll be way overpay imo.
Good to know. Haven't watched very much of him, so it's good to get your perspective on his play. Sounds like we don't really need him, as we have some solid route runners who have good hands. What I'd really like to see is a true slot WR...speed and dynamic playmaking ability, the ability to stretch the field, etc.
