It was Johnson, Jones, Walter.

We have five guys drafted within the last three years:

Iglesias (might remember him from OU)
Maehl (Oregon)
Lestar Jean (big receiver out of FAU)

and now the two rookies

Posey
Martin


so they'll have to sign a veteran free agent or 2

When you have the best RB tandem/running game in the NFL you don't need a great receiving corps. Johnson is still one of the top WRs in the NFL and I think Posey has a lot of potential.

Posey is the next Jones

The Texans are on the cusp of being decent. Not sure why the wont put someone worth a shite next to AJ

I will be sure to bump this when Posey has a good rookie year; I expect it and yes I'm a homer

I hope he works out

Hate to see a team so close not make the playoffs because of a shitty group of WR

if he's anything like the OSU WRs that have come out lately, he'll likely bust. outside Santonio

Ginn was overdrafted and OSU fans knew it. Gonzo has had injury problems.

Aside from that, Robiskie yea a bust, hartline has been ok, Sanz was ok for the bears last year.

Only Ginn was supposed to be a stud

Ginn- 1st round pick
Gonzo- 1st round pick
michael jenkins- 1st round pick

robiskie 2nd round

hartline 4th round


i mean lets face it, Ginn wasn't the only one drafted rather highly and expected to be a big contributor

The trouble is they have had other needs and there is a salary cap.

The #2 option is Owen Daniels. The passing game was pretty fricking good in 09 and 10. Last year the problem wasn't the lact of a good #2 WR as much as injuries, namely to Schaub, but also to Johnson. If those 2 and Daniels are healthy, the passing game will be fine. Johnson can and did produce with a worse WR corp than they have right now.
