Existing variables that might mitigate how much reliance is put on said rookie:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We see continued improvement from Lazard.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Funchess plays really well.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One or two of MVS, ESB, Begelton or Kumerow step up and become legit starters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sternberger has a breakout second season.</li> </ul>Potential moves that might mitigate how much reliance is put on said rookie:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">sign or trade for another vet FA WR.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">double down on the position in the draft.</li> </ul>I would liken this situation a bit to having one excellent DB and then a lot of question marks after that.  Your secondary is probably going to be a big concern.  Adding a high round rookie is one thing that could potentially improve it, but what if that rookie doesn't perform up to expectations?</blockquote>
