I thought Moore would replace Beer Man, so I went with him. Patten is trying to start, so he's pretty much a lock to make the team.

I'd love to see Patten as the starter- would mean he is 100% and back in the form from a few years ago. He would be another leader in the huddle and on the field- something Henderson won't be for at least a few years.

The word i get is that Patton is a lock to make it, unless injuries creep back up on him...Lance Moore has a solid chance to make due to his speed and return skills. It is going to be an uphill battle for Jones and McKnight.

I think McKnight has great hands, runs decent routes, and the one thing he do excellent is block down field, this kid will decleat a DB in a minute, it's embedded in his mentality, and I think that attitude is the reason he may stick around.

I completely agree that Moore will be on the squad for return duties. Someone has to sub Reggie every once in a while.

Considering that we often use 3 wide sets, Patten should get his looks. I'd say Patten is just the type of crafty vet we can dispatch to exploit zone holes, and ply his trade in the slot. I was buckin for Keyshawn, due to this reason. It's almost a given that Patten will abuse anyone left to cover him, after Ds account for our other threats.

I really don't know how Ds can deal with Colston lined up opposite DH, Deuce in the backfield, and Johnson able to chip and sneak out for a quick 10. I'm not even counting sets with Matrix wandering around before the snap. He occupies a couple of defenders, even if he runs a 15 yard out for the hell of it. He creates space.

The wild card is Meachem. He may prove to be hungry, and do dirt like Donte did as a rookie. So many weapons. Only one ball. What a man po to do? Cool Brees may break his own records.

0 Hall, Tramain WR 5-10 190 25 1 North Carolina State

When I look at the roster, I think McKnight has an excellent chance of making the squad.

These are are receivers for next year. Mark it down.

Colston
Meachem
Patten
Henderson
Copper
Moore

Jones is gone
McNight might make the practice squad. We will not have more than 6 receivers on the roster.

I know they were damaged goods, but I'm still depressed that Joe Horn and Michael Lewis are gone. You just can't beat the Beer Man's rise to glory and Joe was the heart and soul of the Saints. Especially when they were here in San Antonio. He really busted his tail to keep guys pumped.

We don't get enough coverage here for me to pick new recievers. I know next to nothing about these guys. I see who you guys picked, so I'll have to try and find some intel on them and report back.

Man, camp is coming up real quick. Pre-season is always a bummer for me because that means work starts back up, but I am getting excited. Everythime I smell a BBQ, all I can think of is tailgates and football!

graywolfkris

I agree the Saints will keep 8 recievers not seven

My take on the recievers (if Patten stays healthy)

1.Colston
2.Henderson
3.Patten
4.Copper
5.Meachem
6.Moore

Mcknight will me the final reciever if Patten falls to injury again but should be signed to the practice squad

Moore will make it over Jones with his ability to play special teams and McKnight is too good of a prospect to pass up
