But think we have much bigger problems than this and think only a late round flyer or two should be used.

AJ is AJ, believe Boyd will be improved greatly, LaFell is better than some give him credit for, being Erickson can contribute, Core could step up as well, and hopefully Eiffert will stay healthy for a change.

We have found WR's like Marvin Jones in fifth round before and would not take one before then. Would concentrate heavily on both Lines, LB, and RB early.

On paper I would agree with you, but watching the offense last year when AJ went down was horrible.  It's obvious that we don't have another guy that can create any sort of matchup problems for defenses at WR.  I don't see Core as being that guy.

This isn't the old NFL, it seems like now the passing game opens up the running game.  I would think that if we had anohter legit threat at WR that teams would have a very hard time defending us even with our porous offensive line.
