Who would be the best and what are the pros and cons of each?

To aquire:
1. Brandon Aiyuk 28 - headcase risk, injured, possible?
2. Juane Jennings 28 - attitude risk, non separator possible?
3. Deebo Samuel 30- drops, not vertical, gadget, possible?
4. Tyreek Hill 32 - old, injured, legal, headcase risk
5. Keenan Allen 34 - old, mainly slot, wants other team
6. DeAndre Hopinks 33 - old, wants other teams, possible?
7. Stephon Diggs 32 - old, legal, headcase risk

And someone on the Roster?
1. Antonio Williams (drafted) mainly slot, can separate, possible?
2. Luke, mainly slot, non separator
3. Dyami, drops, non separator, limited route tree
4. Jefferson, non separator, catches well, possible?
5. Lane, mainly slot, undeveloped route tree
6. Burks, non separator

Not sure I agree that Luke M. isn't a separator. I am pretty sure that some of the analysis of his work pre-injury showed he got good separation but just wasn't being thrown the ball. Dyami also showed, albeit only in flashes in the 2024 playoffs, the ability to get behind a defense. But on the roster, I agree that no one has yet shown the ability to be a go-to WR2 (or, arguably, WR3).

Having said that, I am not a fan of the older retreads identified above with the possible exception of Deebo, who I thought played reasonably well for us last year under less than ideal circumstances.
