85 Nate Washington 6-1 185 5 $1.3m $4.2m
87 Lavelle Hawkins 5-11 190 2 $385,000 $497,697

Obviously they are not all going to make the final roster. Who knows how many WRs Fisher plans to carry through the season. Without knowing that and without seeing some of these guys play, we can only put them in order that we THINK they might fall.

1 & 2 Nate and Gage would share the first two spots
3 Lavelle Hawkins, long shot but I hope he gets the spot
4 Mark Jones, I put him here not as a WR but as a return man/WR
5 Britt if he can pick up the routes and prove himself
6 Thorpe, on experience alone, we'll see
7, 8 & 9 Guice, Morris, Edison because I don't know them
10 & 11 Williams and Davis, if they haven't figured it out yet, let them go. If they couldn't make last years roster with that WR core, they're not going to make it with this bunch.

 

Well Jones at 4 but because he makes the roster as a return man, not a WR. BUT, he can be used as a WR. My guess is that Britt should be #4 in rotation.
Will Britt catch on during his rookie season?

 

Guessing WRs is not as easy as guessing our QBs, secondary or RBs. There are a lot of unknowns in this bunch. Training Camp and preseason should sort this group out.
If Williams and Davis don't step up, they're both history.
