You are correct.

The 40 yd reception he had was as the outside receiver, so he is capable. But I'm like you, I want to see lafell earn the job as I don't think it should just be handed to him. Cody core played really well on the outside too. I honestly think this team is going to be just fine at WR. Time will tell but the eye test tells me that the young WR's just seem to get it.
Went from a place of weakness to a strength in one Preseason game IMHO.
Core really surprised me with his route running ability which was his problem in college, was our best Receiver
Friday night. That does not take away from what Boyd did either who showed tons and Erickson and Simonise
has such a wide catching radius.
Alford also shown some on Returns.
Sucks cause one of these guys or two will not make the team cause of Tate even though Tate is just solid.
Sometimes you need to gamble a bit on a young guy. I would gamble on Erickson being our Returner myself.
He has great hands, makes good decisions, doesn't put the ball on the ground and is quicker than Tate.

I agree, I think we'll be fine at WR.
Looks deep all of a sudden for heck sake.
