Our receiving corp is loaded and I have a lot of confidence in Minshew being able to deliver. If we have to be a pass to set up the run team, so be it. Leonard was part of the problem, not the solution. After 2017, his explosiveness took a huge hit. He was being arm tackled by DB's. He was too injury prone. Remember Fowler got shipped off to LA because of beef with Ngakoue, or so the story was told. Then Ngakoue wanted to hold out and thinks he's a top 5 DE. Traded away. We should be willing to give these young guys a chance. The Jaguars won't be a playoff team this year but I don't think we'll be the laughing stock of the league like we are before the season has started.

How are we "loaded" at WR?!?  PFF has our unit ranked #32, dead last in the league.  While I do not agree with that PFF ranking at all, we are at best an average group there.  I agree that the addition of Eifert gives us something we haven't had since Marcedes Lewis was rolling here.  I really like Minshew, but not sure he is going to be able to do even what he did last year with this cast now the DC's in the league have about a dozen games of film on him to take away what he's best at doing.

I don't care what PFF has our WR's rated. Chark is a star on the rise, if Shenault can stay healthy, he's a dynamic player, Conley is one of the better #3 WR's in the league, Westbrook has proven his worth and Cole has shown at times, he can be a very good receiver. I like this group and I don't like much on this team, overall.
