BTJ and Davis give us what we didn't have last year. Kirk and Engram work inside, but after Zay went down the outside threat was gone.

Ridley is a fantastic WR, but he just mentally checked out during the last half of the season. The whole team went into face plant mode.

Ridley cost us some games, especially earlier on. Can make a very, very STRONG argument, that, the outcome of the week two and three losses at home to the Chiefs and Tinhorns potentially goes the other way if he doesn't [BLEEP] drop some massive catches. He dropped a great pass inside the ten yard line and another crucial 3rd and long conversion inside the 20 at some point in both of those games.

He's not worth the high investment the tacks gave him. I think Thomas Jr. offers more speed, more big play ability and better 50/50 opportunities than Ridley does in the long run and I think Lawrence will find him more often than not once the offense starts gelling. My hope is that, we already know what we have in Kirk and Engram. 

Those are going to be Trevor's clutch, early tone setters in the passing game. It's when guys like Davis and Thomas start working the outside where the offense has the potential to absolutely sky rocket though. Once those two guys start stretching the field deep? It's party on. There should be opportunities for guys like Strange, Bigsby, Etienne and Washington to work the middle of the field and the short to mid passing game with the main four tying up the majority of the looks.
