Which is pretty much exactly what I didn't want to hear, but almost exactly what I expected to hear after I they said that they budgeted $15m out of a possible $39m+ for free agency. I really don't understand what their hardon for comp picks are.

The only free agent WR we ever got that made a difference was T.O. - and he contributed to the instability we already had festering here.

There are not too many free agent WRs that tend to pan out.   I guess Golden Tate turned out.  Others that come to mind are Moss and Bolden.   I'd be happy if they brought Bolden here.  Other than that I don't have any confidence in FA WRs.   They'll have to draft a receiver that can at least contribute significantly in a limited way.
