I too think the depth isn't great, but Ross was drafted to be that true WR3. He didn't contribute as a rookie, and he was a great RZ threat last year but not much else. Hoping this year he blossoms.
With that said, the WR3 was the 4th or 5th option in the passing game for the past decade, as evidenced by a bigger emphasis on a receiving TE and also a pass catching RB. This makes it hard for a WR3 to contribute as much as we'd like and also makes the team invest less in the position.
I am in the camp that doesn't use the number nine overall pick for wr3. You use the pick for a future # 1 wr. Unless he really excels this year I would label him as a bona-fide bust.
