Would like for him to mentor Funchess on playing the big slot WR that I think Devin is best suited for and the role that Colston helped pioneer, but I don't really want to use a roster spot or playing time on him so whatever. I'm cool if we get him for cheap or if we show no interest at all.

No more Saint's rejects!  Harper was tolerable but Colston is spent.  Never really thought he was all that anyway.

Guy has averaged 70 catches, 7 TDs, and just under 1,000 yards a year during his 10-year career. Even adjusting for some stat inflation from playing in that NO offense there's no arguing that he's been a quality receiver.

Not saying that I want to see him in Carolina (though I do think he'd be steps above the Legedu/Louis Murphy-type signings) since KB, Funch, and Ginn/Brown are a very solid group, but Colston probably has a couple of decent years left as a possession guy.

I wouldn't mind him as the Cotchery replacement, and a rookie to supplant Bersin. The man is 6'4" 230 lbs, I'd imagine a perfect tutor / vet presence for Funchess/KB. 

We'd have red zone threats across the board, big, can run block, can make contested catches, if the price is reasonable no reason not to. I like our receivers but we still need a dependable possession receiver, not to mention depth in the receiver size department. Behind KB/Funch we are pretty small at receiver, unless your'e counting Bersin who was rarely active.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
