I hate Owens as a person, but I'd have to go with him.
Chad Johnson is obnoxious and as big a media whore as I've ever seen. And he's not as talented as either Moss or Owens.
Randy Moss is the most physically gifted receiver in NFL history, but he's never had the drive to be the best. Last year he didn't even look like he wanted to be in the league anymore. I don't know what he would bring to the table, if he would bring anything at all.
And Plaxico has always been somewhat overrated in my book. He played lights out in an NFC title game, and then caught a game winner in the Super Bowl, and suddenly he was being propped up as being elite. I'd also have concerns about his ankle, since he was having issues with missing practice regularly prior to shooting himself in the leg. At 34, with two years away from the game, and without being dominant before the injury, I don't know if he'd bring much to the team as well - especially with an abbreviated off season.

As would I.
But that wasn't the intent of the thread. If you had to take one, which direction would you go?

I would take Moss. Well, maybe Burress, ****, I don't know.

Owens is probably the most ready to go now,but Owens + Dez Bryant = geometric IQ loss,possible burning down of Valley Ranch.
Ochocinco doesn't have the skill set he once had,his complaints about Palmer notwithstanding.
Moss would be all right for a few games,then he'd get a good weed connection and start running go routes that could be covered by Shaun Rogers.
Burress may have something to prove,which might bode well,but 20 months of rust could be hard to shake off,and he wasn't all that and a bag of M&Ms to begin with.
But he's tall,so Burress.

Don't think Cowboys.
Think a team like Carolina, or St Louis last year.
You draft a QB #1 overall. You have little to no talent at WR presently. Those four are available....

If we are thinking like, then I wouldn't touch anyone of these guys. I would rather the WR's I drafted and/or some young WR's go through the bumps with the QB and grow together. I would also focus on a front five OL that would protect him, as well as a stud RB.
But, #1 QB and one of those four WR's? No way.

I think Chad will have a different attitude now that he has spent a season with T.O. I saw some clips of their reality show and Chad looked visibly annoyed at TO for some of the stupid crap he was saying. I think that was a touch of reality for Chad about how annoying he can be. Even if he doesn't catch a lot of passes he is still a guy the defense cannot forget.

Too late I already picked Plax
If he wasn't out doing stupid publicity stunts like bullriding, or playing soccer, then I'd agree with you.

I just reached into a hat, pulled out a name, and tried to find something positive to say about the one I picked. I think all four are fairly even in their unemployability but it seems Burress is getting the most buzz right now. That is probably because he just got out of prison while the other three are being fairly quiet.
