Ruvell Martin will lucky to make the practice squad this year. I have heard and seen nothing about him in camp. He had a couple of decent OTA practices but it is a different world when the pads are put on.
#1 Donald Driver, he just seems to get better and better each year. I think he has broken through as a legit #1 wide out in this league. He is basically uncoverable in camp, not even guys like "Give a Damn" Woodson, or "trip on my Hair" Harris can touch him.
#2 Greg Jennings, it is going to be a struggle with whoever is playing opposite of Driver. Gardner shows flashes especially in the redzone, but he has never been consistent, and once again he has proved that in training camp. Gardner has the size and tools to be the legit #2 reciever, only if he would get his Clemson size brain out of his ass. Jennings is going to be a bit raw this year and even if he is starting don't expect more than 30 catches and anything more than 500 yards.
#3 Robert Ferguson, Uggg... he just can't get it together, some guys have that mental edge and that drive, but Ferguson just isn't one of them. Most days I bet his head is still spinning and hazy. Fergy you're a damn great special teams player, and hopefully you can go back to playing on special teams full time.
#4 Rod Gardner, There is going to be a lot of rotation between Ferguson, Gardner, and Jennings regardless of who is where on the depth chart. Gardner is the most physical of the wide recievers and this gives him the edge in the red zone or on short passing plays.
#5 Cory Rodger, Rodgers makes this team at this point because of where he was drafted. Hopefully he catches punts a lot better in game situations than he does in practice. Rodgers is just raw, it was a reach to take him in the 4th round. He has some decent athletic ability but reciever is a skills based position and he has yet to develop those skills to the point that he can seriously contribute to the offense come time for the regular season.
#6 Ruvell Martin, He is going to fighting for the fifth wide out postion until the end of camp and if he can demonstrate he can contribute to the offense more so than Rodgers, or Chad Lucas then the Packers will carry 6 guys on their roster. If he demonstrates that he is really just another camp body he will be released and the Packers will only carry 5 wide outs.
#7 Mark Boerichter, He has to prove he can be a deep threat in the preseason especially in the preseason games otherwise this team will go with younger players with more upside than Boerichter. If he can open up some the preseason games and prove he can seperate from NFL caliber corners then he might crack this roster.
#8 Chad Lucas, Lucas has the ablitlity to leap frog guys like Boerichter and Martin. His size is ideal in the west coast system and he has been in and out of Green Bay for the last year. Thompson and his front office people see something in Lucas and hopefully for him he can build his skills off that little something and crack this roster, but in reality he will probably be cut and added to the practice squad.
