The first four are easy: Lamb, Pickens, Tolbert, Turpin.
I think they likely keep six. So, which two on the current roster have a shot to make the initial 53. And why?
Personally, my two guys are Holden and Cropper.
Holden is fast, and plays like an NFL receiver. His top speed is in the 98th percentile. He's that guy who can make plays on slams or down the field. Not the best route runner, but he gets good separation. To me, Holden is just a better football player at this point. Maybe I'm sleeping on Flournoy, but I'm giving Holden the edge over Flournoy because he plays with that so-called dog in him.
Cropper has been my pet cat since before we acquired him. The guy can just play. He's a bit undersized, but his weight and speed helps him get separation, which is a big part of his game.
Im looking for guys who can separate for WRs 5 and 6.
Why?
Because you always play a few teams that have sticky corners and so you need players with a knack for getting open, which both Holden and Cropper do well.
Not only that, I really like what they can both do after the catch.
I also like these two just for the chemistry they bring. As players, they'd give us more flexibility to run more WCO stuff, which I hope is part of the plan.
I'm not worried about draft picks spent on a player if an UDFA is better. Just go with the better player.
Which WRs do you think makes the roster and why?
