Corona shines some new Lights
22 Josh Gordon
46 Vick Ballard
70 Kirk Cousins
94 Travis Benjamin
118 Gino Gradkowski
142 Ladarius Green
166 Matt Johnson
After losing in the Semis, the Lights felt the sting of a weak receiving corps and general lack of depth at skill positions for a long, long, long time.
The GM moved quickly to put a legit threat across from Mike Williams full time. The addition of Gordon allows Brandon Gibson to concentrate on one position, while Plaxico Burress and Travis Benjamin are both solid 4th options.
Vick Ballard should do well taking some of the load from Matt Forte, and Kirk Cousins might provide future flexibility at the QB position should his real life starting QB not be able to answer the bell.
Gradkowski provides interior depth, as well as being a possible starting Center.
Green is a project, but could pay big dividends to a team uncertain about about Gronkowski's ability to contribute long term.
Johnson's eventual development would allow Glover Quin to move to Free Safety if Kenny Phillips can't stay healthy.
These moves should help keep The Lights on into the playoffs!
