I don't want to go into 2018 with Cole being the only guy somewhat built to play outside consistently. 

If A-Rob doesn't sign and they decided to throw money at Landry - they'd have to burn an early pick on an outside receiver with prototypical size IMO. 

Do-able?  Yes.  Just not my preference of addressing the WR situation.

Ah but isn't Cole more of a wideout? Judging by recent memory he does play wideout more then he plays in a slot I thought.

After a quick google search, he played 23% of the snaps he had on the field in the slot. So the majority of his plays hes in the wideout spot.

Yeah - That's what I said. He's the only guy (if A-Rob walks) on the roster that's (somewhat)  built to play outside. 

I say "somewhat" because Cole really doesn't have the classic build or skill-set to consistently beat press coverage. At least not yet.  He relies on speed. 

That is not a good way to head into a season at WR. Having only one dude that is suited to play the X is just not enough.
