I think it's yet to be seen.

Hey if the light does come on for this guy and he turns it around i will man up and say i was wrong and that im sorry to the JC faithful. But so far it looks like that would have to be a huge turnaround. After hearing all of the good things that we heard he was doing in camp i expected alot more than what he has shown but so far it seems to be the same ol JC. We will see this week.

Mitchell is a legit talent because he has speed and size to do damage! Thomas may be screwed because I see Kelly being the Number 2 in week1

[DBUCHANON101]

DT could slide right on down to the 4-5 spot if he doesnt get it in gear. Kelly seems to have his injury behind him -hopefully for good- and Mitchell is coming on strong.

Im sure he's great but I will reserve judgement until he faces a first unit of another team. Lets see what he does against Springs

[DCtoAZ]

#1. Yes it's pre-season
#2. Yes it's 2nd and 3rd teamers
#3. Yes it's pre-season

However .. that picture is worth a thousand words seriously, how great does that look .. what a break if he blew up like a Marques Colston .. The Skins' have to get lucky in the draft every now and again .. (see Chris Hornton )

If Marko Mitchell and Kelly continue to develop we will be scary. Also set for the future to groom DT to take over Moss spot one day. You see how valuable Plaxico was to the Giants when he was playing. Now imagine 2 players with good hands and around the same height. If this works out as planned we will have an awesome receiving core.

i think mitchell within a year will line up at #2

[NYCskinfan82]

If you remember when they drafted DT he was the better WR but was very raw, he does seem very sulky but i beleive we are good with him and are set for years to come with our WR's Moss, DT, MK, REL & MM. HTTR.

These are pretty much opposing ideas. Thomas was just plain raw. Not at all accomplished as a WR.

Malcolm Kelly was light years ahead of Thomas in terms of being a high quality WR on film, but Thomas had outstanding measurables so he got hit with the "big upside" tag. If you watch all of the college film on Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly it's easy to see who was the far better WR coming out of college.

[MTK]

At this point I would say Kelly might have the edge over DT for the #2. Thomas needs to show a flash in these last 2 preseason games.

As far as Mitchell, perhaps a great story in the making. Maybe this year's Horton of the offense?

[NYCskinfan82]

What we all have to remember is this is a reporter saying this not JZ, and all reports coming out of TC are the battle is close between DT & MK. I want all our WR's to do great it allows JC to have much more weapons.

[freddyg12]

Of course we'd all like to see MM have a colston like year, but if he makes the 53 & gets on the field some as the 4 or 5 wr, that is stellar for a 7th round pick that Vinny said is still "raw."

This is a perfect example of why you need to keep & acquire more draft picks; a guy you draft in the 7th might turn out to compete for time w/a couple guys you draft in the 2nd. If Rob Jackson & Horton continue to play well, that's pretty good success rate for the last couple years in the 7th.

everyone needs to chill on the marko mitchell bandwagon....including myself. he had a nice game against some 3rd teamers. what we're hearing in practice is very encouraging. one thing i like is he's not backing down from the db's in practice and then he did it in a game. but let's see how he does the next two weeks before we crown him the next colston. lol.

He was actually in the game and contributing earlier than the "3rd teamer" defense.

Marko looks like the real deal.

I agree 100%. I mean I don't think he's necessarily this year's version of Billy McMullen. But let's see some more out of him, blocking, catching the ball in traffic, running after the catch, knowing where the first down marker is before we get too carried away.
