Well it's all about this right here, and I was thinking it, but unwilling to type the words.
We are in decent shape at WR as is... but yes... what if?
If we are down to starting Wilson and Conley, then we could be in some serious ****ing trouble. Everyone in here would metaphorically shit themselves with stress over that starting duo. This is the only reason why WR should at least be considered as a position to not overlook. I admit, I'm ambivalent about spending resources on another WR, but without Maclin in there.. holy shit!

Boom. Exactly.

Floyd dropped one of the easiest TDs you'll ever see 2 weeks ago and it probably cost the Chargers the football game. The highlight of Steven Johnson's last 4 seasons was probably blowing out Berry's knee.

You point out the only drop on the season out of Floyd's 61 targets to cut him down for your purposes? really? I'm not even saying he's better, really, but he's definitely more proven.
Anyway... All the arguing about whether Wilson is better than other team's #2 was pretty well cleared up when someone listed a rather small and pathetically deceptive list of backups stepping in for injured players. That's basically just tapping out in acknowledgment of one's own lost argument.
I think Wilson has at least shown that he belongs in the NFL.. but how good is he? eh.. I'd say he's an "okay" #2 right now. I like our #1, #2, and #3 in Mac, AW, and CC... but if that's all we can really count on.. we better pray every night that Maclin stays healthy.
