Saints positional battles: Wide receiver

I'm hoping Travin Dural emerges as a sleeper. He's a dark horse player that I think will be playing on Sunday early on in the season.

Rez, I'm with you, the physical skills are there; but not only does he have to learn what it takes to be a pro with the Saints...

He's got some remedial development he missed out on in Les Miles system...

Coleman will likely make the team as Payton, and rightfully, likes to have those big WR in the red zone to back those DBs down in the post...

After Thomas, you've got no big WRs other than Coleman...

Hopefully Coach O can bring even a game manager in to let those great LSU receivers shine...

The bigger question for me is if anyone takes away some of Brandon's snaps at camp. BC knows the playbook and to degree, that holds weight in SP system... the dependability factor.

Side note - keep an eye on Justin Thomas. He appears to be pretty versatile & has a high football IQ. Could end up as back up to Kamara or PS candidate.

"Can't wait for training camp!" ...
