WR Treashon Holden Hype

[Chasing6]

Most definitely. Pickens made a sparse room very crowded very quick. Guys like Flournoy, Copper and maybe even Tolbert suddenly on bubble too

Tolbert is comfortable.

 

[rambo2]

He isn't making the 53. PS is the only option.

That's what it looks like. Our receiver group is strong.

 

[rambo2]

Agree with this .......Jerry wanna see Mingo beat out Tolbert as the 3rd guy. Cropper and Brooks are long shots IMO.

I think that Mingo is a better fit. He is a beast.

 

[rambo2]

There are two good WRs on this. Turp is a great ST player but has not proven he can be a good WR. Every single one of the other guys would get zero playing time on a good team. He has as good of chance as anyone else.

There are two great receivers and the others will complement them very well. A very strong unit.

 

[rambo2]

I mean, his separation sets him apart. Same for Cropper. Although he is pretty small, so is Josh Downs.

I like Cropper a lot.

Who? There is nobody”strong” in that third spot. The “mediocre” bug has been around here so long it’s effecting your good sense. .

We have an outstanding group. They have a chance at being a top 5 group in the entire league.

Tolbert is comfortable.

I'm not sure. He's in the final year of his rookie deal, and he still hasn't shown enough to be more than the third wide receiver. Why waste another year or his final year here when a couple of other players with perhaps a higher ceiling can get his snaps? In other words, we know what he's bringing to the table. That's just my take, but I definitely think he's on the bubble.

 

[Pass2Run]

I like Cropper a lot.

You're gonna Ike Holden too when it's all said and done.

 

[Beaker42]

I'm thinking that 4 players are locks.
Lamb
Pickens
Mingo
Turpin
4 others playing for 1 or 2 spots.
Tolbert
Flournoy
Cropper
Brooks
We now have excellent depth.

Holden is better than Mingo - yeah, I said it.

He had a break out year with a backup QB.

He had more TD's, with half the targets of CD and more yards per catch.

 

[Bullflop]

I'm hoping Holden is retained in some way, shape or form. I think he has the potential to be good. One thing's for sure is that there will be quite a few WRs vying for getting their chances to stay and possibly be relevant and even useful to this offense. The depth in that corps should ultimately be impressive. He certainly sounds like he's someone with the will to prove himself. That's extremely important.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is true but Stephen Jones made it clear before the draft that we were looking for an explosive #2 WR. It was said with all other WRs on the roster........strong statement that none are better than #3. Just me, but I'm not sure his breakout year will be enough for him to make 55 or avoid a trade.

Hell, Cook even took him under his wings last season and projected he would take over his #2 spot, but it never happened. So again, IMO he's def on the bubble but not saying he WON'T make 55, but he's certainly not a lock.

I think what's keeping him on the roster so far is that they are waiting for one of the other guys to step up and command his #3 spot, but it's a process only training camp can answer.

Kellen Moore may give us a 4th-5th rounder for him ........

 

[Gambit]

Tolbert is comfortable.

True. But also part of the problem is he is.

WR 3 is option 4 in offense so really isn't a huge dealio who wins that spot. Turpin and Blue will both see time in that role too.

It's the depth that needs to be considered the most.

I don't see them giving up on Mingo just yet. While I may think Flournoy just needs more time, he may not have support from new staff.

That alone probably keeps Tolbert, but I doubt he gets a 2nd contract here, To me he is moveable for a day 3 pick if need arises.

And how quickly we've all forgotten Paris Cambell. How will he fit in mix?

 

[Gambit]

Kellen Moore may give us a 4th-5th rounder for him

Jump at that. Especially if a 4th.

 

[kskboys]

What hype?

Yeah, I'd never heard his name before.

 

[Ironicalicon]

I liked the prospect a lot at first look. Not so much anymore.

Pickens is on a 1 year deal for now, no way Tolbert is going anywhere after they year he had with a back up QB.

We will see..........
What does Picken have to do with Tolbert? I mean, if Tolbert was what we'd hope, we don't make Picken's trade.
