Unproven and untalented are to different things. Cinci had an unproven WR core last year and look at the production they had. If we get that we ARE better then any of the other east teams. Holmes may not have lit up the board but I still think he can be a 1k yard WR and even in a bad year just put up 8 TDs. So saying he can't do what AJ did his rookie year I'd call down playing him. Why can't Hill light it up his 1st year? Rook WRs do it all the time. WR is an easy position to transition. If he starts all year I'll say 800 yards and 5 TD min. He has big play ability written all over him and our new OC will be calling those plays. Kerley I loved last year and lets not forget he started the year in the 4 spot and was meant to be the put returner not the starter. If he plays the spot all year he will be deadly on 4th downs. Now that we have Hill to stretch the field we can use Kerley more effectively inside with Keller. He may not put up monster #s this year but he will play an important role. Chaz as a #4 you really can't complain. I don't think we will be asking a lot of him but he is a good hands guy that has speed. If he can stay healthy I love him for depth.
I honestly love the mix we have at WR. Who's washed up or just crap WR would you take over this group in the East? I just don't think a whole lot of the rest of the East WRs. Lloyd, Ocho, Branch, Neson, Jones, Clyde Gates, Legedu Naanee... These are guys that shouldn't be making teams IMO. Quite honestly none of the east teams have real knock em dead WRs so I'd rather have the younger cast. At least we have hope they will produce and turn into long term studs. Not just a flashy one year patchs like Branch was in NE last year. I just don't buy an aged bust WR like Lloyd or an UDFA that had under 300 yards last year is a better option then Hill or Kerley for that matter. We have some good depth NFL proven or not.
