I definitely agree that they probably need a true No. 2 to go with Malik Nabers,"Manning told SportsBoom.

Some of the best offenses are doing that. I don't know if they need to do that in the draft, or it kind of depends on free agency. I wouldn't mind if there's a good free agent receiver that could be that No. 2 - kind of that 1B almost."
