1. Santana Moss - should be the primary receiver.
2. Brandon Lloyd - better release than Randle El. Can handle man-to-man press.
3. Antwaan Randle El - better in the slot. Closer to ball which is desirable for reverses and option passes.
4. David Patten - should be highly motivated to compete with Lloyd and Randle El.
5. Taylor Jacobs - fifth man out. Barring any injuries, I doubt if he sees much playing time. Better contribute on special teams.

Good analysis.

It seems that the one thing everyone does agree upon is that Antonio Brown is heading for the door. But, if so, why did the Skins allocate him to NFLE? Why not just cut him and look for a roster spot at a position of more need?

Also, what about speedster Jimmy Farris? Does he have a future with the team or not? He played well when put in the lineup during pre-season (yes, I remember a few drops, but that didn't keep Gardner from a 5 year career here). And I agree that there will likely be a draft choice/FA who will fall in their lap during the offseason.

A long way of saying that I don't think the #5 and/or #6 spots are clear yet. I like James Thrash and he goes hard every down, but does he fit the new system? Don't know.
