Will he be better than Moss, Armstrong or Robinson in 2013 and most importantly, is he past his character issues?

Yeah exactly. While we may have a logjam at WR, its a logjam of mediocre WR's and those who have yet to prove much, save Moss.

I am against adding Josh Gordon for anything lower than a 5th round pick (maybe a 4th if RGiii vouches for him). But in terms of our WR core i dont think adding him will jam anything up.

"Locks":

Moss
Garcon
Morgan

Then:
Hankerson (probably a lock, i just want more than one game from him before i treat him like hes totally awesome)
Terrence Austin
AA
Aldrick Robinson
Others

So unless you think Terrence Austin, AA or Robinson is a better prospect theres no harm in going after Gordon with a late round pick. If we keep 6 WRs it wont be too hard finding space for him.
