We also need to consider just how much playing time a 5th wide receiver would get. Since the Saunders Offense calls for tight ends and full backs, the game day roster will have at most 4 wideouts.

If there's any truth to this -- and that's a big if, you'd have to think that they're considering dumping either Thrash or Lloyd. I just don't see that happening. Especially when you consider the time Campbell has spent with the recievers he already has.

I still can't figure out what the advantage is of a "possession" wideout who's over 6'2". Aren't all wide receivers "possession" receivers anyway? Everyone you throw to, you'd still like to have possession of the ball.
