Wide Receivers Making the 2018 Team

[mraynrand]

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.

Well, it depends on how many TEs and RBs they keep, right? Are they really gonna keep three TEs this year? Could have five running backs if they designate Ty as a RB. All depends on roster and offensive strategy.

Remember, the offense is not going to be the same. It may be radically different. Will they even have a more 'traditional' blocking TE?

If Gute pulls a Todd and foolishly cut MVS at the end of TC, MVS will get signed by another team faster than the speed of fuck. 6'4" 4.3 40 WRs don't grow on trees. There will always be a roster spot for said player til said player proves time and time again that he can't play.

Don't be incompetent like Todd.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

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

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!

This is true of all end of fifth round picks of course.

Yet you still love Janice.

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.

They've been saying that Ty will be back as a RB.

Is there evidence that More can run Routes?

He seemed to be a down the sideline and outside the Hash Marks Guy a lot, when I reviewed his Tape.

There is some truth to this -- players with obvious physical gifts are often given more time/leeway to develop or prove they can/can't play. Janis was a ST demon but apparently too inconsistent/untrustworthy to get a lot of snaps at WR. He got himself a nice deal with CLE.
As for MVS, I'll be interested to see what he can do. He's certainly got height and is a burner. ST is the gateway for these young WRs to make the squad while they learn the finer points of the offense and being a pro WR.

What's Charles Johnson doing these days? IIRC he played for CLE and then Minny, and was another size/speed prospect.

[The Shadow]

It seems there is a trend for the Alshon Jeffrey-like players who can, with the huge catch radius, just go up and snag jump balls.

Based on what I saw it looked like he ran a lot of hitches, comebacks, and go routes. I do think there's something to work with there as for as talent, so we'll see. The other young WR's will really have to shine, or he'll really have to flop to not make the roster as a R4 pick.

[ND72]

Adams
Cobb
Clark
Moore
MVS
St. Brown

I personally don't like Allison so I might be biased there. And Clark, I don't know. I might be too in love with the 3 guys we took, but I think they all have something. Too be seen.

[Rutnstrut]

If true, the are still people that need to be fired. As I have said all along, Montgomery is not a RB and can not handle the pounding of a RB. But if we have seen anything from the GB braintrust. It's doing the same shit and hoping for different results.

[call_me_ishmael]

There are countless smaller backs in the league then Monty. What is unique about him that makes him unable to handle the pounding?

I think he runs too upright. Needs to run behind his shoulder pads. Rib injuries last year were a result of his running style.

Agreed. I don't think it has anything to do with his size. It's all about technique. But damn, if he can stay healthy, split time, and be a 150 touch guy per year, he can be a real threat. He's so good at route running that you'd have to assign a LB to follow him out of the backfield.
