Yeah, basically I had high expectations for our 3 transfer WRs in 2023 and they did nothing, so "Wilcox & staff on their consistent ability to pull top-notch wideouts" was far from what I was thinking.

We always seem to have at least a strong WR1 and a decent-good WR2, and enough role players to help. When I have gripes with the offense, it's usually been OL, QB inconsistency, and just bad scheme… So even if you don't feel there have been "top-notch" receivers I'd argue they at least haven't been a bad or frustrating part of the offense, with the exception of blocking on screens

I completely agree with that.
Btw no use comparing, but 2015 WRs were amazing.
Of course we had Goff distributing it to all 5 or 6 of them.
FWIW the only receivers Wilcox recruited were:
2017: Taariq Johnson, Jeremiah Hawkins & Branden Smith (low 3*)
2018: Nikko Remigio and Monroe Young
2019: Trevon Clark (JC), Makai Polk, Jawaun Johnson (JC), Kekoa Crawford (TR)
2020: Jeremiah Hunter, Mason Mangum, Tommy Cristakos, Aidan Lee
2021: J Mike and Mavin Anderson
2022: Jaiven Plummer, Mason Starling
2023: Nyziah Hunter, Marquis Montgomery (JC), Taj Davis (TR), Marquez Dortch (TR) and Brian Hightower (TR)
2024: Trevor Rogers, Josiah Martin, and Tobias Merriweather
... So a solid top-two guy in each year, with enough turnover that we haven't gotten to see many of them reach their full potential here.
