Putting this to rest right now - The Eagles don't need another WR.

I don't understand what this obsession everyone (especially other Eagles fans) with the Eagles taking a WR in the first round of next month's draft. Listen, I am not saying that Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown are world-beaters (far from it actually), but they're decent enough. Curtis even had over 1,000 yards receiving last season, the most since He Who Shall Not be Named back in 2004. Rather than harp on our WR play, lets focus on better play from our QB. That would probably help more than drafting some over-hyped college kid who might turn out to be a dud. Here's a better idea, lets take a Safety in the first round since our former All Pro starter is 35 and only played in tens games last season. That might even help get us more than 11 interceptions next season. Or here's another good idea. Draft a Tackle since our two starters are both over 33. Come to think of it, if we're so obsessed with helping out our passing game, I don't seem to remember our Tight Ends doing shit last year either. Why not draft a TE?

Fortunately the Eagles' brass rarely listens to their fans, so I fully expect them to take another QB in next month's draft.
