    Plaxico is going to be FA and I would think he would be the answer to our WR2. What do you guys think.

    Is he insured if he shoots himself?

    Sure, but I still would draft one. This team needs TWO receivers. Jacoby and Kevin should be gone

    Kevin Walter is decent enough to be a No. 3 receiver. He can block and catch.

    The WR FA market is too deep. He is low on my list, only if we can get him for cheap.

    I would prefer Reggie Wayne and Vincent Jackson over him.

    I prefer spending FA money on Arian and Mario.

    Texans don't have much to spend.

    Draft a WR.

    He and Jacoby are nothing but blockers. And no, Walter dropped plenty of passes this season, especially in the playoffs. He has absolutely no separation speed and has no business being on the field. He is in the same category as Jacoby in terms of effectiveness, he's just not quite as stupid. BOTH should be GONE

    Plax is a red zone target. He doesn't really do much else anymore, I'd look elsewhere. Stevie Johnson comes to mind.

    Stevie Johnson would be AWESOME opposite Dre. Bills would be foolish to let him go though.

    Fam, we don't need a #2 WR "to go along with Dre", we need the "heir apparent". It's time to find his successor.

    We need a player who is a deep threat immediately, but has the potential to succeed dre as a go to guy eventually. Plax isn't getting better nor is he a deep threat.

    This to me seems like something that clearly needs to be top priority in the draft. When Dre isn't on the field the defense really contracts on us.

    Walter,OD, and Dre are all still great though. Just not explosive.

    Jacoby has the ability, but after 4 years and one catastrophic blunder i'm way past done with him.

    Take care of Mario and Foster first then worry about a number 2 Wr.

    There is an exponential amount of receivers to choose from, so I'd go this route.

    No way they do. Stevie is one of the better young WRs in all of the NFL. He's played pretty much only two seasons and has had 1,000 yards both of them.

    His name is Justin Blackmon. Trade up for him.

    Bull**** and you know it. What's going to change with a Plax as the "#2 WR"? He's not the deep threat he used to be. So now, you can't find young, soon to be #1 WRs while contending. Let me ask the Steelers about that. Got their #1 guy WHILE CONTENDING and in the draft.

    Since there are so many FA WR's this year, I'd wait and grab whichever leftover you can get for cheap. Then I would also draft a WR with an early round draft pick.
