I like the idea of getting depth because we all know there will be injuries, whether for a series due to a player being dinged or concussion protocol or for games. It is a very good thing having guys like Rex and Bernard who have the ability to jump into the slot for a few plays each game. It also gives Hue more ability to create mismatches the more versatile his backs and receivers are so we lose predictability.

They all can be effect.  That I'll agree.

However a lot of Green's high percentage routes are those of mid-level.

It sure would be nice for CBs to be worried about another WR playing deep that is a serious threat.

If not to pull them for AJ then to actually make some of those deep plays from time to time.

Sanu doesn't have the abilities and Tate has speed but doesn't beat coverage well.

All I'm saying is if Marvin Jones doesn't produce or is injury prone we could be in for some trouble long run.

Eifert might get past some FS/SS but to ask him to beat CBs on a regular basis is not realistic.  Especially with our history of playcalling.

As fas as I'm concerned Eifert is in the same boat as Marvin Jones.  He needs to produce and stay healthy.  Otherwise there's a lot of doubt still looming.
