Odds say probably not. Based on historical probabilities, there is about a 40-50% chance that one of those four ever becomes an average starter.
I also submit that we have an idea of how they view the situation already. They have had 19 pre-draft visits that I know of. 7 of those have been WRs. That tells me that they are very serious about upgrading that position and probably don’t see the myriad of late round draftees and UDFA bodies as solutions.
They could have something in Woods and Tavon, look for something in the 2016 kids, AND add to it.
Doesn't mean there's an expectation that there's a strong starter in the 2016 kids. But it could mean that someone from that group develops a reliable, consistent role.
To be honest I'm not sure I'm getting the distinction you are making. But it sounds like it falls under the 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst' mindset.
After re-reading your post several times, I think I get what you're saying. It's true that there may be someone in there that develops into a consistent contributing role.
I just get the feeling that McVay is looking for something different. I think he is primarily looking for a strong starter that can take the top off of defenses.
