I think they definitely need to add to the WR group.
We're one injury away from the WR group being an absolute early-2018 type of nightmare right now. When you know you're one injury away from utter disaster, it's really irresponsible to just shrug and not address that depth situation.
And even if Gallup and Cooper both stay healthy and give us 16-game seasons, the #3 spot still looks like a huge question mark that figures to easily be much worse than 2019. Cobb was targeted 83 times for 55 catches, 828 yards, a 15.1 yard average, and 3 TDs. Replacing that kind of player isn't as simple as tapping a random backup who is on the fringes of being on an NFL roster and asking them to go be as good as Randall Cobb.
Hopefully Cooper and Gallup and Jarwin and the running game pick up some of the slack to make up for us downgrading the #3 WR spot. But we should still be doing our best to keep cultivating a dangerous collection of weapons. Having such a good #3 was a big part of what made our 2019 passing game much harder to defend.
So I think we need to add one good rookie to the mix. If Devin Smith or Cedrick Wilson blows up enough to win the spot, fine, but I think we need another strong, young option.
And if there's one thing McCarthy did reliably in Green Bay, it was drafting tons of 2nd and 3rd round WRs. Because you can never have too many weapons to attack with in this passing era, and he kept drafting them and they kept developing and becoming the next stud starting WR. I want him to do that here, too.
Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams? He drafted them all in the 2nd or 3rd round, most of them when his team was already so loaded that it seemed like a waste or a luxury. But go ask Aaron Rodgers if it was a waste or a luxury that he had all of them to attack with. Go ask some of our old defensive backs or defensive coordinators how happy they were when the Packers played us.
