I don't include Toilolo in that natural receiver group.  Seems a little more awkward running routes and catching the ball,  his height being his greatest asset.  Maybe it's just how really big guys look when they run.  Could be an experience thing,  but don't  see him with the same skill set as  Fleener/Ertz.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on Toilolo's hands (though maybe not his route running).  I can recall a number of sideline grabs while being defended in which he pretty gracefully kept feet inbounds while making pretty difficult catches.  I don't recall a lot of drops on his part over the course of the season.  My impression is that he may never be the deep threat of a Fleener, but his is tall (obviously) with pretty reliable hands and better than average agility.

Toilolo made tough catches look easy and easy catches look tough.

EDIT: Derek Mason gets in the traditional "Alex Debniak looks great this spring!" mention.

EDIT2: Mason also thinks the secondary will be "adequate." Yes, worrying time is now for the DBs.
