I think replacing Burks will be tougher than Arkansas expects. He was the most dominant receiver in the SEC last year IMO. I think I saw somewhere that he accounted for a little over 20% of total offensive production. That is hard to replace in any aspect. I think Haselwood is good, but there will need to be significant help with other WR's. Look for Thompson to get a lot of touches.

You can't replace a guy like that. He was hurt most of the year and still balled out. We will lean on the run until one of the new WR's step up. Luckily we have tons of returning experience on the OL, 3 stud RB's and a veteran QB so we should be able to produce enough offense win games without a ton of production from the passing game at the beginning of the year.

Agreed. On the flip side, Jefferson locked on him a little too much at times and missed wide open receivers.
No one on the current roster will replace his dominance but hopefully Haselwood is good enough that he can take a bulk of those catches while Warren Thompson finds his hands. As noted elsewhere, I bet we are extremely run heavy the first couple of weeks with what we have coming back there.
