WR depth could still be a concern

The Saints lack of pursuit of a prototypical "big body" receiver this offseason combined with keeping Tipton, a guy who played a whopping 2 weeks of training camp and then missed the rest, on the final 53 says a lot. I think while Shanahan may value bigger wide receivers in premier roles, Kubiak does not. And honestly, I hope Kubiak doesn't try to simply replicate the 49ers offense here. You want to be the team at the front of the evolutionary curve, not the rear.

But they did make an effort to add bigger WRs. They drafted Means (6'1" and 212 lbs.), signed Wilson (6' 2" and 197 lbs.), St. Brown (6' 5" and 214 lbs.), and Kevin Austin (6' 2" and 200 lbs.) who are all bigger guys. Tipton was a flyer on an UDFA. It worked out, but it wasn't part of a larger effort to get more smaller fast guys. They were clearly trying to add size to their WR corps in veteran free agency and the draft.

Austin and St. Brown are still on the practice squad.

Kubiak values the best talent he has and uses them in the ways that work best for them. If anything, they have tried to add bigger WRs but none of them have beat out Shaheed or Olave. And it appears that only maybe Wilson has beat out Tipton.
