WR Corp drastically improved or not?

[Jmac]

Made some moves to sure up the position no doubt. With the draft and the moves in FA, how much improvement do you expect this season?

[WarPanthers89]

I expect a complete and full turnaround. Last year was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen from our WR group. Not only have we added two legitimate playmakers, but we hopefully have an NFL playbook, and coaching staff now, which was non existent last season.

[Jay Roosevelt]

Dionte Johnson is the big move. XL is a coin flip, as basically any WR drafted at the end of the 1st round would have been. Mingo is still a mystery + we'll likely add at least one more receiver tonight or tomorrow.

We're better than last season with the Dionte Johnson trade alone; how much better will depend on how XL (and any other wideouts we draft) work out and on Mingo's development.

I don't think we're getting enough credit for adding Johnson. He significantly changes the WR room and gives us a legitimate #1. Adding him makes everyone fit better. We saw last year what not having a WR1 looked like. His style should be good for Bryce too. Legette will be fun with his speed and hands.

I'm smoking that black tar Hopium right now and I'd say an emphatic yes. Thielen would be option 3 instead of 1. That says a lot LOL

J'Tavion or Ben please, next after some defense

[Growl]

I still want another pick there, maybe even at 39.

I would love to see that.  Maximize our odds of hitting on WR.

[Ricky Spanish]

It will be different.

Whether it's better or worse is yet to be seen.

Having said that, it sure as hell will be harder to be worse than last year.

I would say that Johnson and Theilen are the only non-replacement level players in our WR corps. So we at least have two guys that have a prayer of getting open in a given game. The rest of that group?? Woof.

Diontae is the big piece because grabbing someone who can win on his route and win early was missing big time last year.  I'm really excited to see how they will use XL because he could have a huge impact with the many different way he can impact a game.  We now technically have a couple of players that can beat man consistently and some weapons to hurt zone badly, so like all the moves this offseason on paper its a huge improvement.

Would still like to see another speed merchant who can win deep and with his routes added over the rest of the draft too. Maybe Burton if he falls from character concerns.

[CRA]

drastically?  I wouldn't say that.  Johnson IMO is a one year rental.   Leggette IMO is now the best long term hopeful. 

But I still think for Bryce Young, RB, TE and the slot trio is the bread and butter pass game for him to succeed and we haven't improved there at all.
