Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Jood rates UW's 2014 WR unit outlook as a "A-"

If Ross and Taylor both move to defense as expected (to help shore up an also dangerously thin secondary), that leaves UW with only 4 returning scholarship WRs in 2014. One of whom is returning (one hopes) from a catastrophic Lisfranc injury. Another of whom is Marvin fucking Hall.
I don't want to sound too alarmist. If Williams returns healthy, UW might turn out to be fine at WR. (Particularly if TEs Perkins and Daniels line up out wide once in a while.) LIFPO. But you have to go all the way back to 2003 (at least) to find a Husky team with less depth at WR. Even though the trend seems to be toward ever more 3- and 4-WR sets.
If this unit deserves an A-, I'd hate to see what Jood calls a B or a C.

Pease mentioned Ross in his interview, so I'm not so sure about him playing defense. It all depends on Kasen. If Kasen is healthy, the WR's will be very good.

A lisfranc injury usually takes 3-4 months to return from. Kasen is going to have twice that amount of time, he'll be fine. Stringfellow is a man-child. With Kelly in the mix now, Ross shouldn't be needed on D any more than he was at the end of last year. He's too explosive on offense(read:worth at least 2 wins) to waste as a 3rd or 4th corner, unless there are injuries ahead of him. Taylor isn't anything special, so him moving to D is no big deal. Mickens had some drops this year, but made a lot of nice plays. Add to that the fact that though Perkins and Daniels are listed as TE, they're both essentially big WR, albeit mostly unproven ones. Williams, Stringfellow, Mickens, Ross, Hall, Perkins and Daniels is a pretty solid group. Maybe not A-, but I'd say no worse than B+.

I wouldn't disagree. Williams/Stringfellow/Mickens/Ross is a WR corps that a lot of teams would kill to have.

Not very diverse. We should mandate that all teams have some Steve Largent type receiversCuntWaffle said:I wouldn't disagree. Williams/Stringfellow/Mickens/Ross is a WR corps that a lot of teams would kill to have.
