I don't see how you could keep any of them at this point at the expense of releasing a special teams guy like Don Jones. We have a lot of DBs and he will never see the field but the coverage units need all the help they can get.
Who would be your wr # 6

So much has changed since 2012. I remember back in 2012 we really didn't know which WR's would be starting on the team and now we have too many lol

for a 6th.... i could see Hazel and Byrd being the two options.. .both have some sort of ability, but dont have it all honed together. i like Hazel what he COULD bring more if he works at it.
the only thing is if we kept a 6th WR i hope it would only be for returning specialist reasons... I dont want Landry being the return guy... So Aultman comes in mind for a 6th WR here!!!
otherwise we are definitely only keeping 5 WRs

I would use that extra spot to carry another linebacker, don't need a 6th receiver.
Hazel or Preston. If Preston doesn't knock it out the park in preseason, I think they keep Hazel.
There is a couple of positions that need to be considered in this conversation brothers. How many RB's will you carry? How many TE's will you carry? Also where does Lippett fit in here?

Yea most definitely . . . . too much upside/potential to ignore. It feels like we are fielding a team of midgets at CB, so it'll be nice to develop a guy with some size. You try to stash him on the PS you will end up regretting that move.

Byrd.... Btw how do you become able to post new threads
I think 4 RBs and 3 TEs (we'll eventually find a third guy even if he's not on the roster right now) will be the standard . . . I think it'll boil down to things like, do we keep that 11th or 12th DB, do we keep that 7th or 8th LB. How much depth do we want to keep on the OL? Do we want 10 guys taking up roster spots on the OL? It has burned us in the past by keeping less because you are asking guys like Dallas Thomas to play tackle and Nate Garner to play Center when injuries happen.
I think 5 WRs are fine (assuming health of Parker and Stills), and I'm pretty confident you can stash one or two of them on the PS if need be.
Great post bro. I agree we only keep five WR's and put one or two on the PS.
Preston was invisible on Thursday . . . he has calmed down since the pads came on. The drop off from Matthews to #6 is a severe one . . . . which is why Aultman has a legit shot as the #6 guy because he is clearly the best returner out of the group.
Seriously, if Parker and Stills were healthy, there would be no #6 WR conversation, the conversation would be for which guys make the practice squad.
