We had decent experience with West--not Kobena, who only played the first couple of games last year, and didn't get back into the gameplan after getting injured.

And I stand by what I said above--we had numbers at WR, not necessarily quality.  Getting to the ratings you suggest above would have necessitated a couple of things falling into place--West stepping up and emerging as a legitimate go to receiver, Funderburk being the real deal, Kobena providing a deep threat, and then lots of things with the other players in the unit.  Problem is, none of those first three things happened--which is why the receiving corps is distinctly below average.

I'm not knocking your logic / assumptions heading into this year--but it seems more optimism-based than fact based.  I, too, was hopeful that the WRs would go from a huge question mark to a positional unit of strength, but that didn't happen this year.  The best thing I can say about the group is that Broyld took steps forward and had intermittent success, and frosh Estime / Cornelius seem promising.

Add in Williams / Cooper / Custis into the mix, to say nothing of Avant / Winfield, and things might be trending in the right direction.
