At this point its safe to assume that Meredith is healthy which means Kirkwood and Smith are competing for the 4th WR.

Who were we going to get where we were drafting that would have come in and made an instant impact?

Don't forget this team signed Jared Cook in FA who will be a threat in this offense.

No doubt, Jared will help us but having a guy like Parris Campbell would have made an instant impact on third downs.

Hopefully we have Meredith for that this year.

He can’t catch unless a DB just straight up blows coverage and he goes uncovered. He doesn’t win battles for the ball and has injury history. They may put him in a snap or two every now and then but he’s just not much better than a backup.

Seems as though we are talking about two different receivers.

+1 Agreed.

I still have a lot of faith in Meredith this season. He was a good player for the Bears and if he can round back into form, we'll have a great duo at WR as Mike is just a beast of a player. Tre and Kirkwood will continue to grow and improve as well.

Throw in Kamara's pass catching ability + we have added Cook at TE to the equation. That's a tall order to defend.
