    I really don't see any competition for WR2 unless Brown struggles to pick up the playbook. However I'm left wondering if Taywan can still be a valuable asset to this offense. I think once we come to terms with his limitations then I think he can be put in a role that best fits his abilities.

    We already know he doesn't have consistent hands and prefers to body catch rather than catch away from his frame. That's largely why he has a small catch radius and struggles in contested catch situations. Its hard to bypass those issues. Those are major flaws that plagued the offense when he was penciled in as our WR2.

    However he does have big play ability. Maybe now since we aren't asking him to be a volume receiver as our WR2 but perhaps we can get really good value with him as a depth slot wr behind Humphries. He is arguably our best go to receiver for WR screens. As long as we give him easy catch situations I think Taylor can still be of some value to this offense. What do you guys think?

    Taywan can still be a factor, but we no longer have to depend on him to be one. Last year he was a giant among dwarfs. Hopefully the competition will bring out the best in him.

    If you consider 25 catches, 300 yards with 1 TD to be a "factor". I think there will be times where he has a decent game. I also think we will not make it through a whole season with CD, Humphries, and AJ all healthy. Somebody will miss some time at some point just based on averages for WR. He will be good depth for those times.

    He can still be useful on screens and go routes, but that's about it.

    For sure his performance was underwhelming but our expectations were huge. After loosing Walter and then having Mathews walk out; I expected him to pick up the slack. Those guys were never replaced, who else was there to go with
    Davis ?

    Yes. We should just replicate Mariota's Oregon offense now . He would probably be better if we could stress secondaries and created busted coverages , instead of playing in a robotic passing game which doesn't allow any room for error.
