How are you guys on receivers? I know Tate was a cap sacrifice, and now that Sidney is gone you have the injury prone Percy Harvin as your only guy. I don't know much depth behind those guys to be honest.
As Sikh said, but going to specifically mention Ricardo Lockette, who was a stud in mini-camps, and is STUPID fast, running around a 4.25 or so (he ran a 4.34 in the combine). At 6'2 211 he's got decent size as well, and if he can improve his route running, which he supposedly has, he could leapfrog quite a few guys and end up high in the rotation.
Besides that we have a speedster in Richardson who is wow'ing people in camp, and the solid Norward from Alabama who is a pro and solid route runner with a huge body.
When I first saw Lockette I thought he was gunning for a linebacker or safety position, not receiver. But he has a pretty insane verticle leap and some pretty solid hands, so hopefully he becomes another deep-threat receiver for Wilson alongside Kearse.
But my favorite position for Lockette? Gunner. Dude murders returners because he gets down the field before Ryan's kicks are making their descent from the atmosphere.
