I would say we keep six guys (all this could change barring injury), but I also see someone other than one of these three taking a spot at wr.

Moss seems to get mentioned a lot the past couple days by pundits but I think at this point he has an uphill battle to make the final roster. Kind of sad seeing how much he's done for the team over the years.

Aldrick I'd argue is kind of redundant now as up to this point he was our poor mans Desean Jackson. However he's been having problems for a while now with inconsistency and while Jackson is capable of running a full route tree Robinson seems to be limited to go routes off play action. Of course you could also reframe it as giving Robinson a chance to learn from a pro bowler with a similar skill set so we'll see how that turns out.

I think the coaches want to give Hankerson every chance to make the roster and be a major contributor and might even want to have him compete with Andre Roberts but at this point his saving grace will probably be the lack of size among our receiving corps. Even more so when you consider how fond Gruden was in Cinci of bigger receivers, even outside of AJ Green.

Of course these days its not uncommon for coaches to favor the guys who do best in practice over the 'sexier' names among fans. James Thrash back in the day being the quintessential example.
