Expectations of Malcom Kelly

[hail_2_da_skins]

I expect nothing out of Malcolm Kelly. Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas were wasted picks. Kelly has had health issues since college and it has not worked out. Lets move on!

Well if Kelly was a lost cause, MS would have dumped him a long time ago.

Only if he had been the first pick in the draft and we had passed over Sam Bradford or Adrian Peterson or some other young superstar.

Roster Battles: Wide Receiver - Hogs Haven

I hope they do it for all positions, cause if were bringing in 90 players there is going to be battles everywhere.

Not sure I agree with their stance on AA. I would guess his spot is pretty safe.

Who ever created the ranking is way off. Kelly is way too high and at this early stage so is Hankerson. Yes Kelly is a big wild card, but I rank him lower until he shows something. Then move him up or down. Until then he belongs with the second tier of rookies.

My ranking of our WR (1-10):

8) Moss
7) Anthony Armstrong
7) Leonard Hankerson
5) Brandon Banks
4) Malcolm Kelly
3) Rest of Rookies

I really think Niles Paul deserves his name mentioned just about "rest of them".

I agree. My bad.

Austin goes where?

I'd put him even with Banks on potential...above Kelly at this point.

We're so deep at WR.

I'll try the ranking now too:

Moss
Armstrong
Hankerson (has the potential to be #1 or #2)
Austin
Banks (ranking as WR only, no returning factored in)
Kelly
Paul
Robinson
Roydell Williams
Taurus Johnson
Maurice Price


I think Moss, Armstrong, Hank, Austin, Banks and Paul will make the cut. Kelly will be cut after an injury. Aldrick Robinson to PS.

IF KELLY MAKES THE TEAM, I hate to say it but Brandon Banks could be in trouble, if not, both Paul and Robinson may be PS players. It's going to be interesting. We always have a ton of WRs in camp but this is the most talented group I can remember for a long time.

I think one of the reasons Kelly has been kept around for his size but now with Hankerson on board...we have our tall WR now and MK could be expendable now.

1) IMO you have to factor in special teams. Especially when a non-starter is exceptional at it.
2) If Kelly has a decent camp and preseason, maybe some team might spend a 6th rounder to get him from us. Wishful thinking.

Brandon Banks isn't going to make the squad. Niles can play the WR position and still be a force in the return game. Banks cannot.


Mark my words, Niles Paul will make the team before Brandon Banks.

I was making the list based what I have seen. I have not seen Niles Paul play in the NFL. I am not sure if he will be a keeper or another Malcolm Kelly = a lot of potential and talent and not much heart. Niles has to earn it.
I should have followed the same theory on Hankerson.

I agree, we drafted some Wrs that are physical and have great hands. Banks and Austin are just too small to take a pounding from NFC East DBs or OLBs.

I have marked and weighed your words and found them wanting.

Banks has already made the team before Niles even got a trial because not many people can do what Banks does at the Pros. Even if Niles was exceptional in college he won't unseat Banks due to speed.
