Mind-blowing that Trevor is number four all-time in passing yardage considering he platooned and missed games with injuries over much of his career. Shows how much the game has changed in recent years.

I would've made Jorgenson my #5 on the list instead of Prater. That's just because I think it's easier for NU to bring in a young WR and throw him in the fire than a young Olinemen. Who would you have made the 5th person over Prater? The other options:

T. Green: We have Jackson, Vault, Anderson, Long
T. Jones: He had 200 less yards receiving than Prater, so Prater has to be over Jones
Chance Carter: We're getting McEvilly back so that's a good replacement
Collin Ellis: One of my all time favorites, but he was already gone.
Jimmy Hall: While a utility infielder is great to have, he kept getting replaced at positions and finding new ones.

Am I missing anyone?

KP seemed to be the only wide receiver who made plays. Jones had a few moments, but was plagued by drops (KP had a few too, but far less). He really seemed to be coming on late in the season.

I think Jorgenson is a solid 5. I would have picked Ellis but, as you noted, he was already gone. Still, we did/do have to replace him.

I liked Ellis his whole career but the upside of his leaving is he groomed his replacement and Nu should miss a beat an the middle from 2014-2015. Hopefully we even experience an uptick.
