Ok so this is in NO way me promoting grabbing these guys but given our WR group at the moment is:

Benjamin, Ginn, Funchess, Brown, Norwood/Bersin/Hill/Etc...

I can totally see us adding a talented rookie via the draft (Sharp, Doctson, Pharoh) but there's one thing it seems we like in each position group: A strong vet presence.  Ginn has been playing for a while but isn't the type that strikes me as a mentor type when it comes to routes and becoming a complete WR. 

So, if you had to choose between these 3, who would you go for?  They are all 34+ but it seems like they still have a year or two in the tank.  The other non-draft option would be a journeyman type in Hankerson, Mike Wallace, Andre Holmes, etc.

And I totally acknowledge we may go without a FA WR at all. 

edited bc I don't know how I forgot about Andre and what we're looking at in White.

Boldin is my top choice because he has played the position KB and Funch are learning and is high character man of the year winner.

White is a goon and would not be good for the young guys. Worst choice.

Don't know Colston's personality but he seems like a good vet guy. Quiet and maybe similar to Cotchery. He would be second choice.

To me it is a toss-up between Boldin and Colston. Which ever one is better in the slot would work for me.

Roddy White.  He is pissed at the Falcons and at Shanahan.      Gimme a pissed off,  highly motivated older WR,  over  the mellow older WR,  like Colston.

I believe White is going to have a much better season in '16,  than both Boldin and Colston.

He was terrible last year. Boldin was way better with Gabbert throwing the ball.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
