Impressed with our WR play. I don't know that we quite have

a Ross/Higgins/Williams/Watkins/Hopkins guy out there ... yet ... maybe, but I'm not sure we don't either. Amari Rodgers is finally healthy and a primary target, and it shows. He looks great. I'm also very impressed with the evolution of Cornell Powell; he looks very polished and confident. He could be huge for us this year. Ladson had one go off of his fingertips that was perhaps catchable, but it would have been a great catch. I still think he has all of the tools and I feel really good about his future here. Once Ngata gets healty, I think it's obvious he's going to explode. Ajou is another physical freak who just needs a little time to develop, but good Lawd he will be a nightmare for opposing DBs down the road. Maybe the one guy who really caught my eye today was EJ Williams; of all the ones mentioned, he may have "the look" more so than any of the others ... hands, size, speed, smooth athleticism, just needs reps. Anyway, just the insane ramblings of a madman.

Agree about Amari. If anyone has Force Factor multiplied

their NFL draft stock since the start of the season, it is him. Since he is primarily working out of the slot, may still be 2nd round at this point, but if he keeps on making highlight reels, he may work himself into Round 1.

I also love that we have TE's who can catch. The TD pass to Davis Allen was beautifully designed. Wanna cover that pitch to Travis? Ok. TE wide open.

I'm still a little skiddish about the wr group as a whole, but I think it's what you say (basically that there is no stud). If J Ross were playing we'd be as close a "lock" to winning a nc as could be. Amari has stepped up big, and having TE weapons and ETN out of the backfield makes us pretty strong (especially with TL16 playing out of his mind). Ladson and Ngata have not been the difference makers I thought they would be, but they have time before the post-season. I like EJ, would like to see him more, he'll be real good when he adds some muscle. Ajou is a project, but if they can harness the athlete (ie. teach him to catch) he could be a weapon in a year or two

If Ngata can get fully healthy he will put on a show. Caught the one pass today but didn't play after that. Hopefully he's a full go next week.
