Wide Receivers Making the 2018 Team

[texaspackerbacker]

We've got a helluva a lot of quantity, and hopefully a good amount of quality too.

Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis, Michael Clark, DeAngelo Yancey, J-mon Moore, Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown, did I leave anybody out?

That's 9. Some teams keep as few as 5; It's hard to imagine keeping more than 7. How many and which ones do we keep? Any early guesses?

[mraynrand]

Scantling looks practice squad bound. Moore and St. Brown will compete for another position. Clark will be considered a TE.

[Teamcheez1]

Cobb and Adams are not going anywhere.
What position does Ty Montgomery play this year?
One of Davis or Allison will be gone this year.
Yancey is on the bubble or gone.
Do they see more potential in Clark with limited reps, or do the new guys show more? Can they stash one or two of the new guys on the practice squad?

Hard to tell until they put the pads on.

[The Shadow]

Six receivers seems about right.

[denverYooper]

Clark will be considered a TE.

Let's just hope he actually decides to do his job and block for an onside kick attempt in the NFCCG.

[pbmax]

Six receivers seems about right.

So , its Emperor "Shadow" Joseph then?

[red]

I think they keep 6, and I have zero clue who those 6 will be

Hopefully someone looks good and pre season and we can trade him

There's always room on an NFL roster for a 6'4, 4.3 40 WR. MVS ain't getting cut.

Allison is a fucking sloth. Clark can't catch. I don't get the hard-ons for the two of them.

[texaspackerbacker]

I completely forgot Montgomery. That makes 10 total. I don't have a very high opinion of him either at RB or WR. The fact they drafted 3 seemingly decent quality receivers tells me maybe Cobb's status is not all that sure given all the money he makes. Clark as a TE is worth considering; I was thinking the same about St. Brown.

Another thing to factor in is that a DB, Alexander, may end up being the primary punt returner, which makes Davis less useful.

I think they will keep 6 WRs plus Montgomery and either Clark or St. Brown as a TE, cutting Yancy and Davis.

For the love of Green and Gold, the Packers have gotta sign Dez.

Adams, Dez, Cobb, MVS, Moore (by default).

[mraynrand]

Alas, poor Ty Montgomery. I knew him, Horatio.

Goidbye, Ty Davis. We hardly knew ye.

[run pMc]

After Adams and Cobb, I'd say only Moore is a near-lock by virtue of being an R4 pick. (I'm assuming he's much better than Cory Rodgers.)
Allison is probably the de facto #3, with Davis on thin ice, but they could easily both be roster cuts.
Way too early to call this race; will take a couple of weeks of camp to shake it out. Until then it's pure guessing, since we haven't seen the rookies or this Kumerow guy yet, and barely seen Yancey and Clark (or if they've "made the year 2 jump")

Graham will basically be another WR, so there's that too.

And let's stop with the Dez Bryant stuff. They just cut an aging, overpaid WR who was beloved by a large chunk of the fan base (and note OAK subsequently traded for Bryant), why would they overpay for an aging WR from another team who's also a diva? Dallas didn't want him, and they aren't exactly the 2nd coming of the Warner-Faulk Rams. If they sign a veteran WR, it will be for peanuts, and it will mean all the young WR's are crap. I think they'd move Montgomery back to WR before that happens.

[Joemailman]

6 seems like a lot since you have a TE (Graham) and a RB (Montgomery) who will also line up at WR. So I would say Adams, Cobb, Moore, St. Brown and either Clark or Allison. Scantling to PS.
