I don't know, there should be some system where teams can enlist players who are moving on from college ball, of course the worst teams would be given the opportunity to pick from this pool of players earlier than the ones who did better. It would be really cool if we had a system like that, and it would be even cooler if in any given year the pool of talent at a position would be so deep as to represent a Likely (ahem) means to improve a team's depth.

If only. A boy can dream, I guess.

We can add all we want through the draft, but we now have a top 10 paid WR that is basically slot only. Unless we are going to waste that investment by playing him outside then we cann't play much 12 personnel. The fact that Engram and Arnold can't play inline is also an important factor, but I don't really think either of them have to be core pieces so it's not a critical problem like the Kirk problem.

I've seen you engrossed in threads here discussing offenses that gather unusually high percentages of production from a slot receiver before. 

The diminishing of the position here feels disingenuous. 

Of course - finding an X to compliment him is critical - but overpaying for a slot guy in this particular season of FA is not a big deal IMO.
