Quantity does not necessarily equal quantity.
Holt: Still among the best but turns 32 this summer and seemingly has chronic knee issues
Bennett: Disappointing first year under contract, question mark for the future
Hall: Return specialist only, IMO
Caldwell: Might not even make it out of the preseason
Looker: Has a history with Linehan but is more of a holder than he is a receiver nowadays
Hagans: According to one report, he's not making the transition to pro WR
Stanley: Question mark - has good measurables but only played in three games despite some WR injuries ahead of him that should have allowed him to get on the field more
Williams: Signed last season I believe to help with return duties, don't expect him to contribute much
Fowler: The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference? Really?
Just because you have bodies doesn't mean you're good at a spot. The Rams have bodies at WR, but for the first time in a long time, I think overall it's an average at best group. Fans constantly overestimate or overrate present personnel and depth; this seems like another one of those instances.

Exactly. If we draft a receiver but Stanley turns into a playmaker, then good for us - we'd then have two young receivers to groom for the future. Not exactly a horrible situation to be in.
