Hopefully this will motivate them to bring in more FAs for competition. I don't want guys like KWill or AJ starting just because they're the only guys we have. They need to earn those jobs by beating out experienced WRs, not by beating out joe Hastings.

We need to be watching waiver wire when teams cut down. And I would probably at least take a look at Dante stallworth now.

I think CK can make our WR core look good. While when we had AS, this wasn't true. CK made our receivers, especially Crab look damn good. I expect him to make other WRs look good when he works with them during the offseason.

We really don't have any $$ to go and get another #1 WR.

It's time for AJ to step up. And hopefully either Patton or Lockette will come up big this year.

Also, we probably rely heavily on TE sets.

Last year the Ravens lost their best player, T-Sizzle, who'd just come off a defensive player of the year season to a torn achilles. Won the super bowl anyway. I know he was able to come back and all, but he wasn't the same player.

Kaep will just have to gain 1105 more yards on the ground and score 9 additional TDs rushing the ball to make up for Crabs loss.

I'd be REAL surprised if either Lockette or Jenkins picks up the slack. They're totally unproven in the NFL.

Every position group will suffer from "depth" when you lose your best player. Take out Willis, or Aldon, or Gore, or Justin Smith, and that position group will look mighty thin. I would say safety, DL, and RB were just as lacking in depth as WR during the draft.

No... but Boldin could pick up a lot of slack

Jenkins, Lockette and the rookie all have a chance now.

He will, but we went from a dominating WR core to an average to above average one.
