People can say stuff like "yeah, but do you really want Rex Burkhead and Cobi Hamilton out there again?!", but they don't realize that it could have happened to any position group and then they'd just be complaining about an entirely different group of guys with the same argument.
We may not have the best receivers in the NFL, but they're clearly a good group. I'm much more concerned that we're trotting out guys like Emmanuel Lamur and a 31/32 year old A.J. Hawk at LB and not supposed to be worrying about it.
Yes I do want Rex Burkhead out there again....and so do the coaches. He's been getting a lot of reps in the slot.
We have 1 slot WR in the mold we like (Sanu) and now we have a backup (Burkhead) I think that played a bigger role in the draft as well.
Burkhead could have some serious upside as a slot WR
