Unpopular question, perhaps a stupid thought, but...

Fair enough, but I think they were treating Ginn as that Vet #2 guy you were talking about from the get-go which is why they were so less panicked about getting another WR than everyone else. From all reports, it seemed like Ginn had the #2 spot locked up in training camp until Funchess came into his own with Brown and Cotch splitting time at 3 in the slot. 

There's also the possibility that they kicked the tires on one or most of the guys you listed but a deal couldn't be struck due to Gettleman not overpaying for guys like them. If you will remember it came out the offseason afterwards that Jacoby Jones came into visit the Panthers and was deciding on them and the Ravens the year he signed with the Ravens and they won the Super Bowl. 

Ginn had it locked up because of how terrible his competition is.  He's a 3/4 on any other team in this league.   Funchess was supposed to be the #2 here but he got hurt and isn't up to speed.   And in this day and age, you usually hear about people showing up for visits.  The guy played dice and lost, that's all there is to it.

Counter argument:

He didn't lose because we haven't lost yet. Could the WR play better? Absolutely. Is it a weakness? of Course. Is it the reason we have lost games so far? Nope, because we haven't lost yet we're 4-0 and everything is amazing and I can't hear you lalalalalala

      Bradberry is the better CB and I dont think its too close. They should have played together

      I was as big of a fan of Josh as anyone and was pissed about that situation then and still am today. But Bradberry was also a legit #1 corner for a while here, not as flashy as Josh or as mentioned before in this thread not at the level of Josh's peak, but he was more consistent and just a quiet stud. Like Gamble was. Was just correcting the post from before about how the draft was completely wasted trying to replace him, which is a notion I just disagree with. Bradberry was a great pick and legit #1 corner. As I already posted, the rest of the draft was an absolute disaster but we did come away with a Josh replacement. And yeah it should've been both but I'm just evaluating the moves after the Josh fiasco.   Also worth noting we did have Bene who was coming off 2 incredible seasons before breaking his leg late in 2015. I don't think anyone expected him to fall off nearly as much as he did following that injury. If he had gotten back to that level of play, Bradberry on the outside with him in the slot would be a decent pair to bolster a corner group. Those 2 plus a veteran outside CB signing after the Josh fiasco would've been a reasonably good group. But Bene couldn't get his conditioning back and sucked and DG was confident in 3 rookies which was dumb as hell.
