Projected Lineup... Your thoughts?

[SirLK26]

Well, I gave my O-line predictions in another thread, so here's my WR predictions. Unless we keep Hocker as a KO specialist or keep 4 TEs, I'm fairly confident that we'll keep 6 WRs.

#1 - Pierre Garcon. Obviously. As a note, while I don't expect numbers like he put up last year, I do think he'll certainly get Pro Bowl numbers again.

#2 - DeSean Jackson. Obviously. Can't wait to see him out there.

#3 - Andre Roberts. Was hoping we'd target him in FA and play him as a #2, so I'm pretty happy with him here.

#4 - Leonard Hankerson. I think if he gets injured sometime during the offseason, he'll be a definite late-cut possibility. But he's a solid receiver when healthy, and still only 25.

#5 - Aldrick Robinson. Not sure about this one. With the relatively young age of our WR corps, they might go with the veteran Moss over this guy for mentorship purposes, then draft another receiver sometime in the next few seasons to start developing. I dunno. If Robinson/Moss makes the roster, Ryan Grant might be in this spot over him/them.

#6 - Ryan Grant. Fairly certain he's a lock to make the 53-man roster, especially considering Gruden's praise about how he looked like a "10 year veteran" already. Maybe he could get a lot more playing time than I think. Maybe #4?

Same as the OL, much improvement. And to think I was considering the possibilities of maybe Hankerson as #2. LOL. What a relief. But again, what do I know?

i dont think both Robinson and Hank make the roster. I really think the udfa from BYU is the guy to watch out for making the team.

I don't really know anything about Cody Hoffman other than what I've read, so you could be right. Supposedly he impressed the coaches at the rookie minicamp; and I've read he has great size, a wide catch-radius, and was very productive on special teams at BYU. Perhaps the coaches won't want to take the chance of putting him on the practice squad. On the other two receivers, I think Hankerson is a tentative lock(CRedskins would probably disagree), and Robinson seemed like he made substantial strides after the mid-point last season. So if both made the roster it wouldn't surprise me at all.

yup. I don't think you draft Grant if you are content with Hankerson at the 4th spot.

I would say Hankerson seems like decent trade bait for either a moderate player, or draft pick next year. He has shown flashes, and a WR starved team would be crazy not to take him. Fortunately for us, at this point I don't think we are WR starved.
