Not really. They are lacking big-bodied guys, but they really only have two "slot receivers" in the group. Cole and Greene. Of course McCardell and Hackett have them all learning each of the three WR spots, but those are the two that seem natural in the slot. 

There are other guys that can play there, but Westbrook isn't a slot guy. He's a Z.  Mickens is probably more of a Z receiver than a slot guy as well, but that remains to be seen. I have no idea what Wynn is except tiny and unlikely to make the roster. Here's hoping Lazard can get some good reps in week 4 of preseason. 

The issue becomes "who's your X receiver after Moncrief?"  Cole and Chark are the next logical guys up there, but I'd hesitate to put them at X against defenses that like to press on the outside. They should do fine there against teams that have tendencies to play off the line more or play more zone coverage though.
