If we land Jaylon Robinson that should solidify the WR corps and give Gattis and TVD more tools to work with. I think he will step in as WR1 right away. Which leads to my main observation of the lack of top shelf talent at the position currently on the roster.
We have recruited well there according to all the recruiting rankings and it is disappointing that nobody has stepped up during the spring to earn the decisive WR1 job that was there for the taking. I was hoping that Ladson would be that guy. I hear positive things about Restrepo and George and from all accounts have had a good spring. Smith has shown that he can play and contribute. But I was looking for 1-2 out of the players listed below to break out and nobody has really separated. Seems like we have a bunch of solid WR2 type players there but no ballers.
They are mostly second year guys so I'm not writing them off by any means but the tea leaves suggest we need a significant influx of talent there. Its also worth noting that Jaylon Robinson is listed at 5-10 170 which is generally the same makeup as the WRs currently on roster and we ideally needed a bigger body for WR1.
