Apparently, I'm of the few people who expect Edwards to breakout this season with his old QB DC4. Olave was already our number one receiver most of last season and looked great at OTA's this year.

Shaheed just needed to get healed, learn the play book, and be coached up a kittle.. He was then elevated from the practice squad and was an immediate impact player while scoring touchdowns. He looks even more polished and, like Olave, he put on five pounds of muscle this offseason. And if we can finally move on from 3Q's fantastic blocking but poor production then we've upgraded.

AT Perry and Shaq Davis both have a good shot at the roster because they are very good athletes. It will probably come down to who plays special teams. Those last few spots need to make their way on the roster via special teams.
I think my comment was taken as a bigger negative than I meant it to be. Olave has all the makings of a viable #1 guy. Shaheed was a great surprise pick up who had glimpses of greatness. I don’t doubt them.

I was responding to the comment “Our WR room is not as strong as some like to think.”

I think there is validity there. If Thomas is a no-show I probably would rank our WR group as middle of the pack for the league. If Thomas doesn’t play do YOU see us as having a top 10 WR group?
