Everyone is going to downvote you, but you are entirely correct. They won't agree with you until after the season because they don't want to admit it to themselves yet, but this is the least proven group of receivers we've had since Saban took over.

-Bond was ready to break out nationally, but couldnt wait to cash in on his offer from Texas.
-Bernard is just a guy so far based on his film.
-Hale flashed WR1 potential, but he's off the table for this year.
-Law is a complementary guy, not a feature guy.
-Prentice has been middle of the pack his entire time in Tuscaloosa.
-Henderson is a complete unknown despite being a Jr
-Williams has WR1 written all over his film, but will he be ready to be featured year 1?
-Does Odom count as a WR? He could be "that guy", but he's also a TF

Who out of that group requires a double team? Who is a one on one matchup problem week 1?

Doesn't mean we can't win big without one, but it sure would be nice to have an established playmaker for Milroe to lean on in clutch situations.

I do trust DeBoer's system to elevate mid tier receivers more effectively than we've seen since Sark left, so perhaps a bunch of solid contributors will be enough? Time will tell.

I'm a big boy, I don't need everyone to like what I say as validation. I appreciate your comments.

Ultimately, I think the reason why discussions like this are not well received is because people take concern as condemnation. I think there is a possibility that Odom and/or Williams are freshmen all-conference and all-american type players. It is a good possibility, even, but it is not predetermined.

Given the circumstances, it makes all the sense in the world to sign a power conference starter caliber receiver if they're out there and interested. I hope it ends up being unnecessary if it does not happen though!
