But that would also mean a trickle-down effect for the rest of the field loosening up. Everybody benefits if AR can take advantage. Pierce included.

I'm not saying we should completely give up on him. I'm just no so sure he'll end up being a legit WR2. And I definitely don't think we should pass on drafting a WR or TE b/c of him. Even if Pierce makes a jump this year we still need more weapons for AR.
