I am hoping that Dmitri Stanley gives the wide receiving room a wake-up call that it's not just going to be an easy slide onto the team.

Well, Samari Toure has already used up his "my gosh, he came in with his body completely rebuilt; he looks seriously in shape and ready to make a big leap forward" story last year. He also looked really, really pedestrian early in the year when he had a real chance to make a mark. He looked lost - crummy route running, drops. Same as a returner - some bad drops when he was called upon to go out there and at least catch the damn ball. I have a hard time envisioning a camp in which he's so good he knocks someone else off the roster.
I also see this as a crucial season for Christian Watson. This is season three; the first two were injury-marred. Supposedly he's got some answers to help him solve his hamstring problems. I sure hope so. He brings a dimension to this team no other receiver does. But if he has another injury-plagued year, you've got to start thinking about drafting a speedy, talented receiver to replace him.
Should be fun this year. I'm curious to see how Grant Dubose does. A few Packerrats were high on him before training camp. Then he got smoked - by an injury.
