Each offensive receiving role includes a "pecking order", which can have expected levels of production. From the expected production there are numbers for elite production. If indeed Cobb is the slot receiver, then the number of TDs doesn't need to be in the double digits. Adams, as the NO.1 receiver not only is expected to surpass 1,000 yds receiving, due to a yards per catch averaging 15-20 yds, but Adams must also get at least 10 TDs for the season. That is the expected elite production of a No. 1 WR. An elite WR2 should produce 800-1,000 yds, 10-15 ypc, and 7-10 TDs. Slot receiver, Randall Cobb's expected role, should average 8-12 ypc, 700-800 yds, and anywhere from 5-8 TDs on the season to play at an elite level. He has not only done this before, but surpassed expectations of an elite slot receiver. Jimmy Graham, a glorified WR2, positioned as TE, should achieve the numbers of a WR2. All three can put up elite numbers because McCarthy's offensive system clearly averages more pass than run plays, and Aaron Rodgers is more than capable of throwing for over 4,000 yds on the season. </blockquote>
