A lot of “pundits” have pumped our WR group: Shepard, Slayton, Tate, and Engram. Is anyone else underwhelmed by this group? The last couple games has shown practically zero separation against defensive backs, and force Jones to throw in really tight windows.
I’d be inclined to trade for a guy like Allen Robinson, if Chicago makes him available. We need the upgrade.
Jones would be really helped with a big possession receiver, ala Robinson, although given his age and upcoming salary I don't think he'd be a great fit.
And our wide receiver corp still sucks.
That's why I was surprised when the cut Coleman.

We need SPEED. We have slot guys except for Slay. Jones has to hold the ball a lot of times because it takes our guys too long to get into their routes. That with a combination of a shaky line is not good.

They brought in Ratley and that's why they cut Corey Coleman. He is still a free agent so we shall see what happens next. Ratley came when the season started so have to give him some time to adjust plus I don't see a lot of deep shots so far.
Good slot guys are ideal for getting the ball out quick. But our guys are not quick nor very fast so quick hitters take time.
