Yeah, lost in all this WR discussion is David Patten. Gibbs has been raving about the guy all offseason. His attitude, his work ethic, and his performance in camp. He's a 100% lock to make the team (cap is not a concern, JoeCrisp, the team is under the cap and there aren't any decent players left available on the market).

And there's no way in hell Gibbs will keep six WRs. These are things we should know just from paying close attention to the team. Gibbs never keeps 6 WRs, and he loves David Patten - remember, Gibbs signed Patten and traded for Thrash, he inherited Jacobs.

With those things in mind, it comes down to Thrash vs Jacobs for 5th WR. So I don't see how anyone can put the odds at better than 50/50, and 50/50 would be ignoring the fact that Thrash is way better on special teams. Jacobs has no realistic shot, IMO.
