The 6th? I don't think he's buried that far. By all accounts he's been the most pleasant surprise of the WRs so far during camp.

Well, look at who's ahead of him

Moss
Gaffney
AA
Hankerson

He's 5th at best

I'd say he's solidly the 5th, and if Hankerson doesn't start catching the ball he could be the 4th.

But you know how it goes- someone we're high on right now will all of a sudden show us nada over the next four weeks and get cut, and someone who's totally off everyone's radar will show out and make the team.

By reports you could argue him as the 5th true WR but that doesn't include what we and the media don't see/pick up on.

? He's definately #5 at minimum:

1. Moss
2. Gaffnery
3. Armstrong
4. Hankerson
5. Paul

Neither Banks, Austin, or Stallworth have a snowballs chance in hell of making the roster unless we carry 6 receivers.

I wouldn't write off Austin yet.

not writing him off completely, he just doesnt have as much upside. he also could easily be stashed on the practice squad and we wouldnt have to worry about anyone picking him up. now i HAVE completely written off banks and stallworth.
