Not to mention, Smith is definitely "Right 53."

I'd love to have a "stretch the field" guy as well. However, I'm pretty sure that this offensive line doesn't have the capability to allow the quarterback to attempt those long throws. I'm also pretty sure that the quarterback doesn't have the touch and field awareness to make such throws, particularly under the duress that exists due to the ineffectualness of the said offensive line.

I think that upgrading both of those positions would actually give a speed guy a chance. However, if they aren't upgraded a speed guy is almost a wasted roster spot and bigger possession receivers would be a better alternative at this juncture. (And Haley has always seemed to have or feature those big possession receivers versus the Al Davis stretch the field guy. His teams in Dallas had those guys, as did his Arizona team.)

... Torrey Smith isn't just a straight line runner. He's going to get seperation on short, intermediate, and deep routes. Unlike Baldwin, Hankerson, and Pettis.
