And yet he was replaced by Corcoran at the end of the season in a starting role. Sure he's a 4th or 5th look by the QB. The point is if we find a great looking rookie, Clercius not a lock either. I'm not even certain he'll be the 3 rd Canadian starter.

He's not bad but he's not a great threat either. We've usually had 3 import receivers starting. Yes there is the ratio issue in question but it's all a TBD

Having added Neild who is expected to start makes that less of an issue. It's still an issue in my mind which of the other 3 is the 5th receiver and depth on the AR.
Rise to the top

White, Wilson and Demski are a pretty solid top 3 recieving corps, and add Nield and Clercius, we got a decent receiving corps, far better than last years group.

Throw Long Bannatyne

I do expect that he has 1-2 clutch catches a game and does noticeably well blocking and getting open, if only to distract the opposing DBs away from the top receivers so a Pokey or Tim White can get open.

Basically, Wolitarsky in his prime would be a laudable goal to reach for.

So far Clercius hasn't come close to Woli or Bailey in terms of impact, he usually makes a 1 or 2 catches per game and rarely makes a big play or adds any YAC.  Sterns was more effective and they let him walk away.

Ya, as the "placeholder NAT REC" Clercius isn't even remotely close to Woli.  Woli was a legit impact player that got us actual TDs.  Some really good ones.  I hope he gets better, ya, but his situation must be pretty precarious right about now.
Never go full Johnston!
