Core takes a bit to get up to that speed though. I disagree with your point. We ARE lacking speed at WR.
That was our biggest problem with our WR corps last year was the lack of a deep threat until Core got a little time.
John Ross gets up to speed faster than anyone. This is what we need in our WR corps opposite Green.
Cam Robinson at 9 i would not hate but i would rather trade down and picked him up if we draft Cam.

While I like Erickson as the returner, JR can still occasionally take reps at KR and back up that role if anything happened to Erickson. That way, Adam Jones wouldn't have to be in that role if he's still on the team come Week 1, or JR fills the backup KR void if Jones is cut.
Some are mentioning Dalton won't have time to throw for Ross to be effective, but Ross is not just a deep threat. He has elite quickness, agility, and separation to get open early, which should just further help the offense given we're expecting the same (or worse) OL performance in 2017.
Nice post, i am liking JR more and more for this Offense.
Then start going to work on the O-line.
