That's a pretty important spot, and a solid 2nd WR can help offset a weakness at TE. So while I get what you're saying about TE, for you to just dismiss the need at WR is kinda disengenuous or ignorant, IMO.

Boyd - Stats aside, he didn't look like anything special. A possession guy with solid hands. Probably best suited as a 3rd or 4th guy on a depth chart. Obviously coaches weren't sold, seeing how they turned right around and took Ross with the 9th pick.

LaFell - Purely a stop gap. 31 years old. Lacks good deep speed. 

Core - Scrub. Another hyped guy that isn't going to amount to anything beyond depth. 

My man, Shake. You and I tend to agree a lot, but you're killing me with Core. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a stud, but far from scrub.

Green is Green. Nuff said.

If Boyd continues producing like he did last year, I think that's solid.

Ross could be the number 2 of the future. Obviously way too early to tell, but we shall see.

I think Core could be the number 2 or 4. I think Green, Ross, and Core lined up together would give defenses fits.

I also think Malone could develop into a quality level starter.

I left LaFell off as he's a band aid.

I think we're in good shape if our top 5 WRs are Green, Ross, Boyd, Core, and Malone. There will be growing pains because of the amount of youth, but I think that's a solid top 5 going forward.

After Eifert, there is a huge drop off at TE. Even if we keep Eifert we'll need someone to produce at TE the other 8 games of the year.
