Re: Strief: Saints "hit the lottery" with rookie receiver Butler

WR-S (2) 12 - Rishard Matthews (FA 2019)
WR-Z (2) 19 - Ted Ginn, 10 - Tra'Quan Smith
83 - Cyril Grayson (UDFA 2019) will have to beat out 35 - Marcus Sherels (FA 2019) for the PR job - and from early reports, it's Sherels' job at this time...
Of note, though @CantGuardMike is our top X-Receiver, Payton moves him into the slot on three-WR-down sets and Kirkwood, Butler will enter as the third WR relieving Thomas on the outside...
It's also possible Rishard Matthews slips up, but Payton has been positive on him in press conferences; Grayson has an uphill climb, but I've love to see him force his way onto our roster...
Not sold on number 12. Keep an eye on number 15.
