It dosn't even matter if Stokley makes the team...to me every rep he gets in camp is one less rep for Armstrong, Austin, Hankerson, Robinson, Paul, Kelly or even Banks. I know they need bodies but I don't get this at all. I still trust that Shanny & bruce know what they are doing...I just wish I did to.

From Chris Russell:
A #Redskins official when I asked if they were going to sign any more WR's "Maybe a few more. We're going to run 7 WR sets." Joking, I think

Great point by Tandler re: Gaffney getting a headstart on Stallworth
A look at the (shifting) wide receiver depth chart - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins (http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2011/07/a-look-at-the-shifting-wide-receiver-depth-chart.html)

I have a guess right now:
Moss
Kelly
Armstrong
Gaffney
Hankerson
Banks
Robinson
Which means no...
Niles Paul
Donte Stallworth
Terrence Austin
Brandon Stokley
And just two QBs on the roster.

My problem, if we have a plan, why waste draft pics on wide recievers if we are going to go out and sign guys like we have today to take their roster spots?

I have a theory on what is going on.
The NFL moved up the time that teams are allowed to sign undrafted free agents with no notice. This caught a lot of teams by surprise. If you notice some teams have 20 plus UFAs signed and others have like two or three (us). One NFC GM said he even had gone home for the evening in order to get an early start on a busy next day (may have been Allen - they didn't say).
The plot thickens - according to the new CBA teams now are required to bring 90 players to camp! That is way up from last year. To make a long story short, I think the teams that got caught napping on the UFAs are going to be in need of bodies to fill out there camp. So we figured why not bring in several players and let them compete. I do not look at this as an overhaul of the wr position. Just a free for all to see who sticks.
The fact we traded for Gafney gives him the leg up (albeit for a player we were going to probably cut anyway) but I think we keep either him or Stallworth and stick with the youngsters. I really hope we don't get rid of Banks! He gives us a dimension that we haven't had since B Mitchel.

backup, just because we drafted some wr's doesn't mean we have wr's on our team. wr is a hard position to draft and we are in need of a few good wr's, let these guys have a shot and if all the rookies suck ass we have a few guys that can catch some balls.
i'm with gm though i just can't wait to see what hankerson can do, especially with the guidence of santana, i think hankerson has the potential to be a game changer.

Edwards is saying he doesnt feel wanted by the Jets.
This WR spree isnt over yet.
