I agree, Merritt might be showing flashes, but he has never been consistant.

I am a die hard Badger fan also.....season ticket holder for years. Never miss a home game. Go Badgers!!

I think they'll probably keep just 5, as we rarely (if ever) line up with more than 3 WR's in the game...if they kept a 6th it'd have to be because the guy had some extraordinary developmental skills, and I dont see any of the potential 6th guys as that...

I think the top-4 are locks in Key, Glenn, Morgan and Cryaton...after that its wide open

Don't know but I'd lay odds he was!

I think beyond Key, Glenn and Morgan it's a dogfight. There are UDFA and FAs who might figure into the mix. Plus injuries.

BRAVO , BRAVO!!! LOL. At least your in the thick of things down in Mad city. Meanwhile im stuck up in Hodagland! P.S....Im soooooo happy we didnt draft Erasmus. Before his pee test I thought Hawthorn would turn out to be the better pro. Still might. Think his bullrush really helped Erasmus...

Me thinks we need to draft a WR next season. We are 1 injury away from an issue again. I would not be suprised to see a Vet WR brought in later down the line.

JackMagist · 05-30-2005

There is a very good chance that we will be keeping 6 WRs. We have been keeping 6 in recent years (counting Randall Williams). The only requisite is that the 5th and 6th be able to play Special Teams.

1. I think Copper is ahead of Crayton due to speed and experience at the position...he gets all the mentions.

2. Merritt might be a practice squad player...I don't see us keeping an UDFA on the actual roster...unless a WR is an actual immediate contributor, I think his only shot is on the practice squad unless he's a Special Teams Demon.

I myself really like what Iv'e seen from Crayton. Think he works his way up to 3 at some point. Can see him developing into a nice 2 a couple years down the road if not sooner.

I think that Crayton is ahead because 1- I think he is better, 2- he has made more plays, 3- he was ahead on the depth chart at the end of the season. He is catching up on the learning curve.

I like Crayton a lot as well. The fact that he made the team last year is a testament to his abilities. I have watched NAIA football and it is a small step above high school football (some teams are probably worse than many high school teams).

1. I think Crayton has been in more situations than copper(I.E.The skins game),and he got the call before copper did at the end of the season, so in my opinion Crayton has a better chance in making the team than copper.

2. I agree with you on that, but really we have so many speed guys on the roster, who ahve hands (Crowder), so i really dont see him mkaing this team, we just have to many players.
