Young defensive core

No. With TY out, our leading receiver this last game had 38 yards. Campbell isn't a #2 either. He's a gimmick guy. Funchess is a complete unknown. WR definitely needs to be addressed in the offseason.

I think we need to give Funchess a chance throughout the remainder of the season before we decide exactly what we need to do at the receiver position.

Hilton, Funchess, Campbell and Pascal to me offer a diverse range of skills, we will also have Fountain back next year, with the likes of Johnson, Rogers, Dulin rounding out the group. I am not going to complain if we were to spend a high draft pick on a receiver, (Hilton is not getting any younger), but i am not convinced that it will be the huge priority that it has been throughout most of this year. Injuries have happened, and i am sorry but you can't legislate for losing your top 3 guys at one position. You do that and you will have no depth across the rest of your roster.

If they're that deep can we at least agree to no more wastes of roster spots on 2 or 3 year developmental receivers? I see a bunch of 3's, 4's, and 5's in that list with Pascal and Funchess capable of stepping up for a week or two in case of injuries. I wouldn't look for a #2 receiver, but if a 1a receiver is available then it's worth looking to invest in that.

Send a draft pick to Pittsburgh for Deon Cain.

Hilton, is clearly the undisputed No. 1

Funchess, who actually knows what he will do?

Campbell, has shown flashes of ability, but in his 2nd year would hopefully take a further step up and be competing with Funchess for the No. 2 role.

Pascal is probably a good No. 3 guy, with the potential to develop further. Then you have the others who are all have the possibility to develop into a bigger role going forward.

If Funchess doesn't show anything then yeah i think we need to add someone in the draft.

Potentially, a solid receiving corps, but it would be wise to draft a young WR who needs polish to become a #1. Hilton doesn't have that many great years left.
