Who are the Scout Team WRs right now for 3- and 4- receiver sets. Slater, Edelman and who else?

WR and OT are the positions we're most hurting for right now for practice bodies, even ahead of QB.

(Most of) the PS could soon become:
  • Kettani
  • A QB
  • An OT
  • A couple of the young defensive guys who survived for now
  • The very versatile Silverstro
  • A WR

Your guess is good as mine
Kopa/Weems
Forston/Francis
Silvestro
Ebert

Wonder if we should be looking for a PS quarterback that gives a different look on the scout team. Perhaps one that might adequately run a wildcat...? Just a thought.
Why would you take out the GOAT for the wildcat?

And the ever versatile and indispensable Julian Edelman was the guy who ran the simulated wildcat to prepare for Denver.

LOL at everyone thinking he'd get cut. HA!

Kettani, Silvestro, and Ebert all seem just about given, assuming they clear waivers. They'll need another WR too. And one of the young DBs will make the PS too.

we may see 2 WR on the practice squad. Doubt Silvestro will be there nor Kettani. These guys will be added if injuries occur at their respective positions as I don't think they will be picked up. They are at 52 right now until Waters reports which would give them 9 OL on the 53. My guess for practice squad:
Tarpinian
Ebert
WR??
QB??
OT??
purely developmental guy

May be way off with this but thought I would join in the fun.

Lamanai was suggesting that they'd want a wildcat QB on the scout team to prepare the defense for Tebow.

Matt Simms was released by the Jets. His brother Chris is a coach for the Pats. Could be a practice squad QB candidate.
