Would you make this deal?

Then past him, our WR's on the roster outside of Green and Boyd are pretty bad. (People will chime in how Erickson is a good #3, but he's pretty bad at WR and better at kick returner.)

IF we rely on Ross as the #3 without bringing in other options...and he fails, we're in trouble. When Eifert went down, if we had a #3 WR who was viable we might have been ok.

Also without a viable #3, IF we lose Green or Boyd...we're in HUGE trouble.

I disagree about Erickson.  He has good short area quickness and excellent hands.  He seems to produce, especially out of the slot, when given the chance.  I think we'll see more out of him this year.

I also believe a severe lack of creativity held out offense back once key guys started dropping like flies.  Lazor just didn't have the ability to overcome.

I agree we need another WR but they can be found in the draft.  Of course, the chances of finding a contributor are better if you don't wait untl the 6th or 7th round.
