Can Frank draw that up?
Winston CAN throw the ball
Other than that... I got nothing

In a sense, I think you are on to something. I would look for a deep threat WR even for trade if we need to. He doesn't have to be Elite, but must keep the D honest.
I wonder what it would take to get Gabriel Davis? Robby Anderson? Tyler Lockett? From what is left on the FA market, there isn't much to get excited about as far as deep threats are concerned. Desean Jackson? No thanks. Will Fuller? He'll be on IR by the end of OTAs. If only AB wasn't Batshit...but if he wasn't, I'm sure he would be well employed at the moment.
The guy doesn't necessarily have to produce, but at least make the D account for his deep presence. Opens things up for JT that much more, and nobody will respect that with Jimmy G or Baker or Ryan. But they will with Winston, because he has a cannon and he's not afraid to let it loose.
I am also disappointed that we haven't addressed TE beyond resigning MAC. For all his freakish abilities, he has shown a lack of fluidity in his route running and general uncomfortableness with absorbing contact.
