We don't have another receiver even close to Tyler Lockett. Have to disagree here.
Baldwin was an undrafted free agent, and lockett was drafted as a return man. Russ is the common denominator to this equation in my opinion. Lockett has become awesome, and I'm not saying he isn't key (5th out of 53), but I think if we had to replace someone, that would be the position easiest to fill. Pass rush is tough and expensive, RB is tough to find as we have seen as well. At the receiver position, we have seen whether we spend money (j graham) or just pick up an undrafted guy (baldwin) the coaches and russ tend to have similar results.
Obviously just my opinion, but I look at it in terms of if one of these 5 went down, who would have the greatest to least impact, and who could we find a replacement easiest for.
