I do. Especially at WR. As it stands now, our receiving unit is no better than it was last season.

You keep repeating that.  But it simply is not true.  Kirk is better than every WR we have on the roster.  Zay Jones is at least the 3rd best, depending on how much Marvin still has in the tank.  I agree that we're still looking for an X than can be a difference maker.  But if they manage to draft one, the unit will be head and shoulders better than last year, accounting for Chark's injury.

What makes me question that is his career to date had been in a place where;s he's never been the #1 guy.  From Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, and even Rondale Moore, he's had guys around him good enough to take the attention of the opposition's best defenders away from him.  I don't think he has that in Jacksonville yet, even if Evan Engram is as good as we hope.  I wonder if he can be as effective with more attention being placed on him defensively.    From a skills perspective, he may well be better than our other WRs.  But whether from the outside or the slot, I don't think we have the guys around him to enable him to be productive.
