Smith just has to get more comfortable and throw it with some anticipation.

Not that our current crop of WRs are world beaters, but Jordan Reed's numbers are down too, a sign that Smith isn't as in sync with him as Cousins was. Which you'd expect, by the way. Smith is new to us.

I think we can expect it to get better as they work together. I certainly wouldn't do anything that would layer on significant salary this year at the WR spot.

I was about to say something similar. Smith is still trying to get on the same page with our current guys, not sure what adding another one to the mix would really help right now.

If we were to make a move I'd rather go for a CB or pass rusher.
