So is Gesicki. And big slot WRs aren't typically moved all over the formation effectively, which was my point.
Which WR excites you the most for the Rams?

I am not seeing any elite skills in Mumpfield or Whittington to believe their upside is anything more than depth.
I’m rooting for them, but the elite traits are just not there.
IMO
I’ve read good stuff about him, however one thing bothers me about him.
His drop percentage is more than I can tolerate.
I think some of you expect FAR too much from young players.
Elite traits = the winners at the underwear Olympics. We need guys that play football and know their rolls. Traits are nice and important, but...
And some guys are late bloomers.
And most players are nowhere as good as Puka and Adams. You can't have a star at every roster spot.
Is a guy like Whittington considered a star? Maybe not to the average fan, but I bet McVay thinks differently.
Idk man I like Whittington and Mumpfield but like you said I think they're role players, no.4/5 on the depth chart. If McVay thought Whittington was a star he would've already played him like one.
If your point is that having solid role players on the team is important, i agree with you 100%.
Like you said, you can’t have elite players at every position. It’s unrealistic.
Looking to “try” to upgrade at all positions is realistic. Adding elements the coaches want…like speed, strength, size, experience to a particular position is an always thing.
Sitting on players like Whittington or Mumpfield seems lethargic to me. Always look to churn the bottom half of the roster, and replace starters with better starters when you can.

The WRs I’d prefer starting with who I’d like the most.
1) Carnell Tate: He has great hands, has a huge catch radius, and is smooth in and out of routes.
2) Omar Cooper Jr: He has great hands, has a huge route tree, is fast (4,41 40 time) and spent early college year playing the majority of time of playing from the slot, but this past season he payed generally out wide.
3) KC Concepcion: He has good speed (4.38) but even quicker than he is fast, is a very good punt returner, plays on the outside, plus he is scrappy and feisty with swag
4) Makai Lemon: He runs great routes, has sure hands, but he always in the slot where Puka generally plays.
5) Kenyon Sadiq:. He is fast, powerful, with good hands. Not known for running great routes, or playing out wide.
Don’t trust Jordan Tyson to stay healthy. Don’t like Denzel Boston as he is way overrated.

Give me Brazzell, I don’t see the concern with his hands. 6’5” 200lbs with plus speed at the X fights for contested balls, is a legit deep threat and a red zone weapon.
With our staff and Adams mentoring him, he could be the next WR weapon we need.
13 might be high for him but 61 isn’t getting this kind of player.

Any of those 3 would be huge for us.
McVay's not some lib gym teacher handing out participation trophies. The dude has that sugar coated exterior in how he packages everything at the podium and in interviews, but make no mistake... He's a fuckin killer. He will cut your throat if you're not good enough and move on to the better option.
To be clear - my point about McVay possibly looking at Whittington as a star is due to his lack of ego, being a team first guy, and his prowess with blocking. Yeah, it's not the stuff of highlight reels, but I bet McVay appreciates it.
We hear things like this often but I really think those are Rams like stats.

No one is looking at Whittington as a star lol.... good role player, yes. If he was such a star, why wasn't he seeing the field more? I think McVay appreciates him as a solid depth player that knows his role.
