Who mans the slot?
Who will step up and help Cook get free?
Still waiting to see if the individual parts are better the whole?
Is Cook handicapped with this group yet again?

WR (3) 13 - Michael Thomas, 16 - Brandon Coleman, 15 - Vincent Brown, 81 - Jordan Williams, 85 - Jared Dangerfield, 12 - Kyle Prater

WR (2) Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead, Shane Wynn, Reggie Bell, R.J. Harris

Michael Thomas - I was not jumping up and down with the pick but I understand it and hope that the screwed up QB system at OSU was the issue that caused some of my concerns about his play. Route tree and press coverage are my main concerns, Eric Murray shut him down even giving up 4 inches. Feeling optimistic though and will sit back and give this kid the time he needs to develop.

Brandin Cooks I still have as a SP toy. They did not add enough speed to free him up IMO so as Thomas goes so does Cook.

Willie Snead - Is a pleasant surprise and hope for more improvement

Brandon Coleman - Can Brandon take another step in his game? Needs to improvement in running the route tree.

After that I have not seen a enough of the players to pass judgement.

21 is pretty honest and maybe a little generous. not by much though
Thomas has the raw ability to be a good No. 1 for this offense; may need to thing about bringing in a veteran or two (e.g. Boldin, Hartline) to transition...

Cooks doesn't need help to get open; he just needs to avoid being contained in space such as a 15 yd field in the red zone...

Snead is a great third complementary receiver and should really keep coverages from rolling up on Cooks or Thomas...

I'm not yet sold we have two other receivers on this roster that could give us the range and variety we need - wait and see...

Because of the aforementioned three, I'd prefer to bring in a vet or two to help the young ones with the other facets of the game...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
