They had much bigger needs than a WR.
And they filled them with what? Weeden, Little and Trent Richardson (okay, the last one is great, but a RB isn't going to do that much when you're always playing from behind in this passing league).
They play their cards right, and they could have ended up with Julio and RG3 instead. Yes, they would have given up a ton more picks, but it's not just coincidence that Washington is fighting for a playoff spot with much less talent outside of QB. No doubt that a combo of RG3 and Julio could cover up a lot of weaknesses, and Cleveland's D really isn't that bad right now.
As it stands now, they had to blow another 2nd rounder for Gordon to make up for how worthless Little is, and if they don't get it together in the next couple years, then Weeden is going to be over-the-hill and regressing by the time they do.
