If you want a guy to replace Colston, Tyler Boyd from Pitt is the guy. He's big and can win on the outside, but makes his living in the slot. Snead and Cooks are both crafty and fast enough to hold down the outside, Boyd would bring back the seam balls.

I'm going to get hammered for this, but we can do much better than 30 catches and 500 yds out of our 3rd or 4th WR. It wouldn't be that hard to find a guy who could out produce BC. His value was his size and frankly, I didn't see enough wins on high points, jump balls, and back shoulders to be very impressed.

Colston did this well early in his career and Jimmy was freakish at it. I think that is really what the staff wanted out of BC. When your top 2 receivers are 5'10" you need a guy like that. Jmo

Solid choice.

I'd like it obviously.

False. Not physical enough. see: playcalling this season. Short passes constantly. Screens. No receiver on the roster right now can win brawls outside the numbers with physical corners. They can't go up for the ball. Need physical WR on the outside to open up route tree for us.
