Damn, that means my binky Zuber is probably not getting promoted this year...

But really this is a good sign, he didn't look bad in the return game last week and made a positive impact so that's awesome. Have to hope Ford can make an impact soon too since he's been here a few weeks now...

Kind of a crowded group at this point actually - Harry, Meyers, Byrd, Gunner, Ford, now Moncrief, and eventually Edelman.

And next year Marquis Lee is back too.

Oh they have numbers. But I see each of those guys as an aspiring WR3. Come draft time, sadly, WR will again a position of need.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Harry is on notice.

 

[jbean9876abcd]

Stealing this old joke: he almost didn't get signed because he kept dropping the pen. So far so good for us, though.

Wasn’t that pick conditional?

 

[Mack Herron]

Wasn’t that pick conditional?

Yes

 

[Mustangs84]

Yes

I thought it was conditional as in it was a 7th and could become a 6th.

 

[TomPatriot]

Harry is on notice.

I have to say I want him to succeed in the worst way. But you’re right. He is on notice and he should be.

 

[Mack Herron]

Yeah the conditions were not released so we’ll see. Could be a 7 or nothing at all.

 

[Nikolai]

I have to say I want him to succeed in the worst way. But you’re right. He is on notice and he should be.

I really wanted this kid to succeed. A kid from Arizona, and we really need a good WR. But even my hope is fading.

As for Moncrief, bring it on. He's provided sparks, and we badly need those too.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Good news for Cam. On paper DM is a guy that Cam can work with. Hopefully we see some targets and a little chemistry develop out of it.

 

[signbabybrady]

I'm just hoping for some good kick returns. Anything at WR is gravy after that. Much needed gravy but I don't expect DM to slide in and fix that dry turkey of a passing game.

 

[captain stone]

Wasn’t that pick conditional?

I certainly hope so...But knowing Billy as we do, his first priority in that trade was doing his lil' buddy Flo a solid, so I still think we're losing a pick over this feckin debacle.

 

[captain stone]

Unfortunately, Gunner bought himself more time with his punt return last week; but he's been Absolute Zero in the passing game, which should still make him a non-53 guy.

Meyers, Bird, Moncrief, Ford & Harry (in that order) should be our WRs every single week from here on out...

 

[denverpatsfan]

Gunner is a liability on kick off returns. Glad the team found a replacement. Now we need to get a better punt returner...
