And you hit the nail on the head. Moss is a 1 year maybe 2 guy, but might not make the roster. Manningham is no more then a #2-3 guy, he proved that in NY, good depth but not a game changer. Crabtree isnt a game breaker and I think he leaves once his contract is up. Williams is dead to me. And Ginn is not a WR.
If Jenkins plays great then we have a good start at the rebuilding process but we will need more guys, that I'm sure of.
I don't generally reference Lowell Cohn's writing, but I agree with his latest that how the receivers do this upcoming season will depend more on the QB play than anything else. In terms of pure talent/measureables, other squads of course have better receiver corps than the Niners will...but having said that, we potentially have a very, very good group who will create mismatch nightmares for opponents, especially if they try to get cute with blitzing, etc. As I've said elsewhere, if the QB can throw receivers open and hit them in stride, one missed tackle or blown assignment could be a Niner touchdown.
I think Alex will be fine he needed help and didnt get it outside of Vernon last year. If Moss pans out it will be a massive boost. I still think we need a 6'3 WR to take over that spot when/if Moss leaves. The fact that we went after Edwards and now Moss shows that we want a big play threat who has size.
