Last year was the first year that Kirk played most of his snaps from the slot. We have a lot of outside receiver data from previous seasons, they were in that underdog video I posted earlier.

As an outside receiver he had a poor one reception for every 13 routes ran and a very poor 1.2 yards per route run. As a slot receiver those numbers jumped to a very respectable 5.6 routes per catch and a good 1.8 yards per route run.

Yes, he's definitely going to be an outside guy with that kind of coin and Jones will be the other? Mr. Drops is manning the slot again or do they rotate the 3 outside and inside between Jones/Kirk and Jones? 

I personally believe DropShenault should get traded or released... He is of no use anymore.

Pederson's offense, historically, does not call for the WR position to be the focal point.

It's an RPO, TE centric offense with a RB by commitee approach.

You don't need Kirk to play on the outside consistently in this offense for it to be successful. You just need him to be reliable and open when Pederson decides to call his shot with that position.

Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew will work well together. Liviska Shenault is the only "odd" man out on paper for me at the moment. Still think they're hoping to draft Jahan Dotson, Christian Watson and Alec Pierce at some point in the draft.

I'll admit this. Speed for speed? I want Jameson Williams from Alabama at 33 if he ends up slipping. I think he can be DeAndre Hopkins level good in the NFL. I would take him over Trey McBride at TE.

I think they could get Jelani Woods, Greg Dulcich or Charlie Kolar now at TE to play TE3 on the team in passing situations behind Arnold and Engram and they'll be solid in 2023 as a starter.

I'm seeing it the same way as you. 

The draft is going to be WR/TE at that position on the draft board. the only question is... who do they like the most? Skyy Moore is intriguing aswell.
