Really, Marko Mitchell is the only real suprising one on this list, if only because his skill set fits Shanahan's system. Everyone else was pretty expendable.

What was the deal with Mitchell? Not enough speed, couoldnt catch or run routes? I never saw him much can anyone explain?

Advanced age (he's 25) vs experience level, they were going to need to make a decision on him: get him his reps or get him out of there so someone else could get those reps. If he wasn't in the plans, no reason to take him to camp.

Of course, I don't really see any signs of a general plan on offense, so I'll refrain from saying this is a good move.
