1-KB 2-Jennings ® 3-Ginn ® 4-Rookie 5-Hill Some of you may agree, some of you may not. As you can see Brown, Cotchery, and Bersin have been replaced with Ginn, a rookie, and Hill. (Disclaimer--Cotchery stays if we miss out on Jennings)** Personal opinion after seeing all of these players play in the NFL at some level I see Jennings, Ginn, Hill, and a rookie as upgrades over Brown, Cotchery, and Bersin. Brown and Bersin made our roster over other UDFA/practice squad players like McNutt, King, an oft-injured Gettis, and Tiquan Underwood. Bersin in my opinion got the nod due to his 3 years of being a camp body, no real difference between him and the other young possession receivers and the Wofford connection with the Big Cat. Some of you may like some of his 3rd down grabs but his ceiling athletically is very low, and he's not the kind of talent that can consistently threaten NFL secondaries. Brown made our roster ORIGINALLY as a returner, not as a receiver; as he was behind Cotchery, Avant, and Bersin. We had no one else to return punts, and by the time he lost his job we were already too far into the season to replace him (hint-we just did that with a 2yr deal for Ginn). Cotchery, left a lot to be desired slow, no yac, but was a mentor and at least had good hands. Honest opinion his best season was as the 3rd it Pittsburgh touchdown wise because he was used primarily in the slot, asking him to play outside was out of necessity because we had the mass exodus at receiver last off-season cutting Smith, and not re-signing LaFell, Ginn, and Hixon. If we take a receiver in the first three rounds like many think we will ® will mean he could be at any of those three spots on the depth chart based on how early one is grabbed. If we take one in the first two rounds IMO the expectation is he'll likely start in the slot and rotate with Ginn, but eventually we will see Jennings relegated to the slot if the rookie catches on. Hill to me is the wild card, he possesses so much more upside than Bersin and Brown, raw size and speed, (something Bersin/Brown would have combined if they were one player). After an off-season of working out, last season, and this coming training camp to learn the offense, I find it hard to believe that Brown/Bersin supporters wouldn't prefer him as the 5th receiver who legitimately has number two receiver potential. At the very least I'd rather see a go pattern thrown to a 6'4 4.4 speed receiver vs a 5'11 180lb receiver, and as the 5th that's not a bad option. twenty-three year old with plenty of room to be brought on slowly, I'd gladly like to see our own "Optimus Prime" come out of no where seemingly. If we can develop Brown, and Bersin enough to actually get some on field reps, and make a few plays, there's no reason to believe we can't do the same for Hill, because whether you want to admit it or not he's made just as many plays already.

Can’t deny it though, I remember looking at his highlights, I actually really liked the pick aside from his injury, he was a beast on Madden for what his overall was lol!

So Whatever Happened to That DB We Drafted from WV??? With the off-season lul I figured why not, I liked his tape, then he played, got hurt and disappeared....

Yes he is.

Also because we will likely draft a DB, I look at this signing as insurance in case a young DB we want 1) isn't there, 2) we draft a young DB that will need some time to be ready. On Paper Ball 6'2, Norman 6', and Bene 5'11/6' (depending where you look), with a 3 Safety rotation of Boston, Harper, Coleman things sound a bit more solid than this time last year. Factor in we'll likely add a DB/S via draft or UDFA or both the room for potential is nice with proven commodities already on the roster.

LOL, his Madden stats have him portrayed with the exact opposite strengths in comparison to the scouting report which says he's best in press/man. Madden has his press weak at 65 and 79 man while having 86 zone. BTW Madden also has Norman, Bene, and Ball all at 87 speed ouch!

I don't think we will sign him, and I have no stock in him, but it would be hilarious if he came here Stewart goes down as likely anticipated by many and he tears it up.

Mike Mitchell cast off from Oakland ya'll loved him, Ginn cast off from SF/MIA no one wanted by the time the season ended ya'll loved him too. No one knew who in the hell Fozzy Whittaker was now ya'll love him also, Ed Dickson was an after thought in BAL now everyone wants him back. Point I'm making is he was in CLEVELAND name one successful anything there....I'll wait. And running in Indy hasn't existed since Edgerrin James and Joseph Addai and even then it was limited behind the passing attack. Down hill runner with some quickness on a down hill team. I'd kick the tires on Trent. You all were inamoured by Tyler Gaffney, if he got ya'll excited you should be willing to see what a talented back like Trent could do behind on a team that CAN actually run.

I'd still like to see a veteran added along side Ginn, and a draftee. We're an injury away from being screwed at the receiver position if we don't bolster it up. Benjamin Cotchery Draft Pick Brown FA Ginn Olsen Dickson Williams If we can add another veteran, Ginn, and a solid 1st - 3rd round selection at WR, I will be happy this off-season with that position. I like that group of pass catchers at receiver and tight end.

Anyone who would take a franchise MLB over a franchise QB is absolutely out of touch with reality. Defensive players DO NOT carry the same weight, not even close.
