We have Minnis, Tolver, Wilkens, Newson, Morris, Davis, Thompson, Simmons, Bellamy and probably a few more I missed...they all have positives, but none has distinguished himself. Thompson could not do it as #2 reciever last year, and when replaced by McKnght and moved into the slot, couldn't do it there either...I think Norv really wanted Thompson's big body as the slot guy, but he either missed the easy catches or ran the wrong routes in games.
Minnis has some excited because he added a little weight and is finally over his injury that got him cut from KC. He is a good 3rd guy, but I think (and could be wrong) KC put him on the outside and moved their #2 guy inside on 3 WR sets.
Tolver will get a long look because he was drafted high. Wilkens would be ideal, because that would eliminate the need for a 6th WR (assuming he wins the KR/PR job).
But I think he is not suited to the inside either. Simmons, Bellamy, Davis, Morris have all been camp fodder and PS folks, but one could shine thru. I think the best chance for one of these guys is if they can beat out Wilkens for KR/PR. I like Simmons, but he is a little small. With our current offense, one of these guys will "do"...I would have rather seen a higher round draft choice or a proven vet, but with the other weapons we have, as long as the OL comes together, we'll be ok...If pressed, I would say that Thompson, Minnis, Tolver and Wilkens will make the team...Simmons could push Minnis if he doesn't shine because he has been in our system for a couple of years. The rest will be PS guys...I might guess that they have a place for Morris and Davis, since they sent them to NFLEL for experience....
