With Dave all but indicating that a slot WR will be a priority this offseason and with us missing out on Randall Cobb we now turn our attention to addressing this need in the draft. Here's a list of top prospects at the position for those who may not know.

My favorite out of the group is Phillp Dorsett. He would fill our need in the slot and as a KR/PR and has legit 4.3 speed. I particularly liked this line in his NFL.com write up:

The biggest knock on him is that he's somewhat raw as a WR and needs to work on catching consistently but the talent is there. He would have the luxury of working with one of the best WR coaches in the league if he's drafted by us though to speed up his learning curve.


Tyler Lockett is a close second in my book to Dorsett only because of Dorsett's elite speed. He's extremely good at everything else though, has a knack to constantly get open, and would also double as our KR/PR. His biggest knock is that he's more quick than fast but he's definitely a gamer. Here is his write up:

What say you? Do you have any guys that you can envision who may be on Dave's slot WR short list come draft day?
