We do have needs, but I disagree that WR depth isn't one of them.

WRs not named Chase/Higgins/Boyd played 718 offensive snaps last year. That's some of the easiest and cheapest improvement to the offense you can make by improving the quality of those 718 snaps. That's a lot! It's right there with the 720 offensive snaps last year played by TEs not named Hurst.

That's a combined 1,438 offensive snaps last year by WRs/TEs not named Chase/Higgins/Boyd/Hurst.

Mike Thomas and Devin Asiasi last year played 381 offensive snaps and produced 4 catches for 43 yards. It would be like if if any of our starting 3 played the same amount of snaps they played last year and ended up with roughly 86 receiving yards. Reduce the amount of times defenses can treat you like you have one less player on the field than they do.

If you can upgrade your depth at those positions from PS guys to quality depth guys, it could have a pretty big impact at a pretty low cost, because there will be some injuries and even when there aren't injuries your starting pass catchers still come off the field for breaks, forcing your backups into the game.
