WR is only "weak" if we have injuries, but the same can be said about MANY positions on MANY teams.
A.J. is a top 10 #1, MLJ is a better #2 than most teams have right now, and while Sanu isn't amazing as a 1/2, he's certainly a great option out of the slot and in the role he should be in for the 2015 season. Hill, Eifert, Gio, and Burkhead will be getting their share of receptions, so we aren't built as a team that needs to go 6 or 7 deep at WR. It looks like we may only carry 5 WRs this season considering Gio and Burkheads respective skillsets.
We're an injury away from having a questionable group there, but like I said before, I could say that about most team's WR corps and many other positions as well. It's impossible to have great depth at every position. I'll be on board saying we're "weak at WR" only if MLJ or A.J. go down.
LB and C on the other hand, those are legitimate issues. We already do have injury problems in a group of mostly mediocre LBs, and we have a Bodine problem at C with no legitimate option behind him. Yuck.
