Rex Burkhead...

I know it is early, but Alford catching crossing routes of 20 plus yards and catch the ball in the middle of the field and split the seam could be a huge weapon. The key with any deep threat is the OL needs to go from 2.5 seconds of no pressure, to 3.5 to 4 seconds so the QB has time. AD or AJ also need to help the OL by being able to move to the right spot and make the 1st guy miss.

My point is Jones definitely if healthy has enough speed to get the attention of a safety. If we add in a speed guy with Green and Jones with Alford, then defenses have to play it safe making them very predictable on coverage so advantage goes to the OC. This does not even factor in Eifert and a great running game with Hill and Gio. It is early, but I see some guys I would love to watch and see if they can grow into very good NFL players in 2015 and beyond.

No there have been a lot of college players with great speed but couldn't transition to the NFL as one trick ponies.

The beauty of Marvin Jones if reaching potential is that he has shown the ability to fight for contested catches.

Not many #2 WRs are going to be streaking past DBs without pursuit unless coverage is blown.

The ability to beat that single coverage either consistently or on deep plays from time to time brings respect.

Sanu has had a handful of moments at #2 but never showed the flash MJ did. 

When I say flash it was just that.  Some games he disappeared.

There is no clear proof he can do it game in and game out for a full season.

Does Rex have a chance at playing some slot?  Sure. 

I'm just a bit concerned on those other parts of the field that may be neglected or unreliable if MJ doesn't produce/play.

Sanu/Burkhead/(insert name), can produce in the slot.  It doesn't seem like much of a void to fill IMO. 

Which if Eifert is playing might make it a non-issue anyway depending on the formation.  You're more likely to have #1 and #2 on the field together.
