2007 Opening Day WR's ????????????

[Bretsky]

OK, DRAFT IS DONE

Time to start a speculative thread. Give your view on what WR's make our opening day 2007 Roster. We certainly have a few

I'd say Driver and Jennings are the only roster Locks.
The 3rd rounder actually might be as well so that ties up three spots.
We normally only keep 5 WR's as of late.

Here is a breakdown.


DRIVER
JENNINGS
JAMES JONES (probably a lock, even though pick might have been a reach)

David Clowney - 2007 pick (IMO this was a very good pick for round 5)
Ruvell Martin (flashed capability in 2006)
Carlyle Holiday (showed nice flashes of potential in 06)

Robert Ferguson (Time for the Fraud to leave the house IMO)
Shaun Bodiford (just a guy IMO)
Carlton Brewster (doing OK in Europe)
Calvin Russell
Chris Francies
Koren Robinson (could be back in week 5-8 of next year)


Is Fergy gone June 1st ? Party at B's house if that happens.

We've got a lot of bodies there.

i think james jones is close to a lock because of his draft status. but anyone get the feeling that clowney will be better than jones, at least this season?

Driver
Jennings
Jones
Clowney
Martin
Holiday


With the possibility that Clowney hits the practice squad if he doesn't have a good camp.

Leading contender at that point would be Bodiford if he works out as a KR.

And, yes, I think they keep 6.

I believe Driver will be #1, Jennings will be #2, and Holiday will be #3.

Yes, and maybe.
Call it a hunch, but I have trouble picturing both Holliday and Martin making it.

1. Driver
2. Jennings
3. Jones
4. Martin
5. Clowney

It's possible we could keep six for the first 4 weeks and alternate the last 2, Martin and Clowney, with another receiver, such as Holliday. Then keep the best or best two of the 3.

I agree there will be 6. I think Bodiford makes it as a returner. Martin and Holiday battle it out but only 1 makes it, unless Clowney is a bust. Bye Bye Fergy.

Man, you like Bodiford a lot better than me, but I agree with your logic.

Driver, Jennings, and a bunch of guys.

Jones will stick b/c of his draft status... if K Rob is reinstated he instantly becomes the 3rd WR.

Clowny is a good long term prospect, but it's unlikely we'll see any contribution from scrimmage from either Jones or Clowny.

TT really hasn't lifted a finger to help the offense this offseason... although I think Jackson may be an ok back; I don't see him being nearly as good as Green.

[Charles Woodson]

I saw that Clowney ran a 4.3 something, i know fast doesnt always mean he'll be good but can he mabe return kicks?

[J-Rok]

Fast does not always mean good kick returner either.

I have heard that TT really likes the backs he has now on the roster. My guess he will do a rotate all 3. I agree Jackson is absoulutly no Green. As of Clowny I like him. He has good hands and has speed to burn. Ran 4.3 at combine. He could be the stand out player of this draft when we look back this time next year.

What about Moss? Oh...thats right.

He was "too expensive" and didn't want to be here because we're not "Super Bowl" ready...
