We need a dynamic receiver most of all. Someone who can get open on short to medium routes, break a tackle or avoid it, and make big yardage after the catch. Thomas is almost that guy, but his long strides prevent the big YAC. We need someone like a young Ginn.
Gin can still get open deep, but we can't get the ball to him. He's not as dynamic as he was a year or 2 ago, and not as effective in making YAC on short routes.
