The Hawks will be that way in a year or two. They'll realize Wilson's going to get his yards.

First, they gave Eli Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer (and Shockey, who was as much WR as TE). Pretty good targets for a new QB, though Toomer was on the decline. Then, they spent a first on Hakeem Nicks (one of my favorite WRs) to replace Plax and just spent a 2nd last year on another WR I love, Rueben Randle (bias alert: LSU is my 2nd favorite team in CFB). Not to mention several midround guys. Eli has always had good targets. That said, I think Cruz is a poor man's Harvin, and with a real QB like Eli Harvin would put up monstrous numbers (hell, he was doing so with Christian Ponder).
Sure, we'd benefit from the extra 5 mil, but I don't think our future cap situation is as dire as some think. I'd rather have the better player for RW's development. Cruz is more reliable, from a personality and a health perspective, but Harvin gives you the higher reward.
