Just when you thought this position group couldn't get any worse, we lose our nominal WR1 to a gruesome, season-ending injury. I know we've been talking about this all off season as a potential weakness but I thought it would be interesting to see how you all see it now. We all hoped that someone would have showed something by now, but by and large it hasn't happened.
I think it's time to at least consider just keeping five WRs and using Miller as a nominal sixth WR. I domt see how you can justify keeping Cruz or both Bellamy and Thompson ahead of what is an intriguing and relatively deep TE group.
WR: White, Wheaton, Wright, Gentry, Thompson or Bellamy (5)
TE: Miller, Sims, Shaheen, Brown (4)
Either that or we need to get lucky and pick a WR up when the cuts are made or look at a FA, although it's not a super intriguing list (Vincent Jackson at 34?!).
My worst case scenario involves keeping Cruz, Thompson and Bellamy and trying to sneak Gentry on the PS.
Regardless of which way we go, this is an extremely thin group that is now essentially banking on Kevin White to come good. My hopes are not high. It remind me a bit of the "weapons" Mariota had in his first season where he basically had to pass to Delanie Walker 75% of the time. Could be a brutal group.
