loose circuits

Just like the RB thread I made, I am trying to pinpoint the number of spots that will raise the value of players drafted. There seems to be plenty of opportunities for WRs in this draft. Lets take a look:
Miami: Rishard Matthews is currently #1 on the depth chart opposite Stills so there need is high. They also have other areas on the football team to address so it will be interested to see where they go on draft day...even a possession guy like Vince Mayle would have significant value if drafted in the 5th round if he was their 1st WR off the board. Tannehill seems to have progressed in my eyes so the value is much higher for whomever they pick
Baltimore: Marlon Brown has faded and Steve Smith is ancient. Baltimore could almost use a day one starter and a project
Cleveland: Hartline is definitely not the answer. Hawkins and Gabriel are very good slot guys, and shown they can be adequate. However, Cleveland badly needs a WR1 play maker especially with Cameron's exit. Only problem here is QB play...
Houston: Would love to see them sign Cecil Shorts, but if they don't (and even if they do) they could use some help opposite Hopkins.
Kansas City: I realize people think Alex Smith sucks because of the WR production in KC. However, I believe this could be partially due to the fact the WRs in KC sucked. Looking at Ourlads, they have De'Anthony Thomas currently listed as a starting WR. Not sure if that is accurate, but the dude can make plays. Albert Wilson, Da'Rick Rogers, and Armon Binns have had hype at times, but we are still waiting for them to put it together.
Oakland: Unlike years past, I actually like what they are rolling with at QB now. David Carr showed maturity beyond his years. do they roll into the season with Jones, Streater, Holmes, and Butler as their top 4 WR's? They need to find Carr a playmaker on the outside although Holmes could be that guy if he can do it consistenlty
Buffalo: Has the Harvin signing ever been official? Needs for more playmakers, but QB play could hold them back. Nice run game takes pressure off and with Watkins, Woods around defensive attention will be elsewhere.
San Diego: Is Dontrelle Inman going to develop? Malcom Floyd is getting up there and rumors are that they have been talking with WRs. Plenty of potential here
Philly: I hope Josh Huff can develop, but there is nothing for certain. I also like Riley Cooper, but nobody else does so there could be a chance for 2 or more WRs in Chip's attack although will they be run heavy??
Chicago: Will they bring in someone to compete with Wilson for the #2 gig? At the least, they need a WR3...
Carolina: Philly Brown has shown some potential and Cotchery is not the answer. They need to get someone to take top off defense and open things up underneath. Then again, they need a lot of stuff.
New Orleans: No more Graham, Stills, or Thomas leaves plenty of targets out there. Will Nick Toon finally put it together- he showed signs last year. Whoever ends up here, value likely to shoot through roof.
Seattle: Amazing what they can do with a shortage at WR. With Graham now in town, how many targets will there be? Also, Paul Richardson and maybe Kevin Norwood could be developing.
SanFran: I am not a Torrey Smith believer, but he serves a purpose like Kenny Stills and Mike Wallace which will work well for Boldin and maybe Ellington out of the slot. Boldin won't be there forever though, so a heir apparent needs to be in the works.
StLouis: Contract they gave Britt looks like legit starter money. Austin is more a gimmick if used correctly and who knows what's up with Quick's recovery. Givens and Bailey haven't lived up to potential. Will they finally find an answer they've been trying so desperately to get...?
Plenty of opportunity. If someone knows off the top of their head how many WRs remain unsigned that could have an impact, please share...
