I think Tate has shown he can play. I'm still bewildered as to why he wasn't playing much last year. I thought he would thrive with Burrow. Say what you want about Thomas, but he knows the system and played fairly well last year.
I was actually shocked they didn't take a WR in the draft. I'm guessing one of the special teams type guys will step up and take the 6th spot - or if Evans is as good at catching the ball as advertised, you could see him in the slot every now and then in 4-5 WR sets.
Well, we took Chase.
Depth is important. We certainly lack it at WR. Tate is slow and gets no separation. Way overrated. Erickson is a better receiver. Thomas' best attribute is ST play.
Plus, we play a lot of 4 or 5 WR sets. Those guys are gonna play some and are substandard. Heck, even if we play 3 WR sets only, guys get rotated after long routes.
