With possibly Aiyuk as #2 or 3 if they want him/he can produce, else Brown or Burks bringing up the rear. Deebo at a push (I do like him), but I think he's going to decline rapidly and everyone else on that list is a headcase, too old or both.

Sadly, I agree with your roster list.
Excluding outside help, if we roll with this we are asking for trouble.

I would argue the difference between a double digit loss team and a double digit win team depends on WR2. If we don't get additional help, enjoy a sad Thanksgiving again.

Of the outsiders list: the only ones I see making a strong difference:
1. Stephon Diggs (he is good, yet troubled)
2. Brandon Aiyuk (he was good, yet confused, but unavailable perhaps til Sept)

If we want to make the playoffs, we MUST sign one.
I hope I am wrong, but with our schedule, an average defense we must average 25 points plus a game, consistsantly, likely with 1 or two fewer drives this year.
Clutch receivers are needed when you slow down the game, run and do play action.
BTW, old farts can definitely get open with play action.

We cannot roll with what we currently have and be successful in my opinion
