[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 776529, member: 12283"] So obviously the WR battle will be one of the most notable in camp. Here's how I see it heading in. [B]Locks:[/B] These are guys whose names can be written in with pen. [LIST] [*]Davante Adams [*]Randall Cobb [/LIST] [B]Inside Track: [/B]These guys aren't guaranteed to make it, but for one reason or another I think they have a decent head start coming in. [LIST] [*]Geronimo Allison: I'm not a big Allison fan, but the reality is that his competition are all very young guys who will likely need a year to develop before they can be counted upon in the offense. That's not a lock (someone might come on strong right away like he did), hence his position here in the second tier. [*]Trevor Davis: Until someone emerges as a replacement at punt returner, I would think ST gets Davis on the team. He needs to improve his decision making, but he was very good when he actually chose to return the ball. Some are fond of using Alexander in that role, but I'm a little leery of using a guy in the return game who I figure to be a staple of the defense. [*]J'mon Moore: It's simply a reality that draft status plays into roster decisions. The higher you're picked, the less likely you are to get cut out of your first camp even if you don't play particularly well. Yancey proved last year that the Packers will cut bait on a reasonably high pick, so Moore is no lock. But he's a round higher yet than Yancey, so I find it unlikely. [/LIST] [B]Slight Edge: [/B]I don't think these players are true favorites over the others remaining, but there are aspects to their makeup that make me think they would be able to beat out the others. [LIST] [*]Equanimeous St. Brown: EQ fell because teams were skittish about his makeup, not because of his ability on the field. That's my belief. He's extremely talented and has way more experience in pro style offense than any of these other players coming out of college (either this year's rookies or last). So if he's coachable, as I sincerely hope he is, I would think he has a great shot despite being the latest pick of this new batch. [*]Michael Clark: Clark has actually gotten on the field and made a few catches, which I think gives him that little bit of extra confidence that the remaining players won't have. [/LIST] [B]Back of the Line: [/B]These guys, in my view, need to both show out well and have players "ahead" of them stumble if they're going to make it. [LIST] [*]Marquez Valdes-Scantling: MVS is a less polished version of EQ, so his path to the roster, IMO, is EQ being a knucklehead. [*]DeAngelo Yancey: It would seem to be a major uphill battle despite his talent given that he never got on the field last year. Maybe he lands on the practice squad again.
