Apparently Jones looked awful at the Senior Bowl.. Couldn't get off of press man coverage, looked slow and sloppy in his routes and out of breaks.. May have just been rust or a bad week but that's not a good sign to scouts and coaches.

I think WR is our second biggest need outside of QB, Hankerson is the only one I see with playmaking upside, Paul is a good depth guy but the rest are replaceable IMO. I'd like to see us end up with Joe Adams somehow. He brings a lot to the table in terms of hands, quickness and ability to create after the catch. Criner has some potential as well but I wonder if we can find someone else who brings the same type of production in the lower rounds. I love Rainey as well for his versatility and speed but he's nowhere close to being a draftable player simply as a WR. He will need to be a WR/RB/KR but man can he fly.

We need to emerge from free agency/draft with at least 4 new WR going into camp to create solid competition and depth.
