Which receivers make this team?

Is it so asinine to drop Mayle?
No, he hasn't stood out or really done anything

Good question War. It's all about what one does with his short window of opportunity. Sometimes an idea looks better than the reality.

I hope they aren't skittish because of Charles Johnson or something.

If we keep 6 -
1. Bowe
2. Hartline
3. Hawkins
4. Gabriel
5. Mayle
6. Pryor or Lenz?
My head says Pryor but my gut says Lenz because he was sensational last night

Not a bad group at all. I think we'll keep Pryor and get away with stashing Lenz on the practice squad.
The funny part of all this is how much things can change just over a few weeks. How many of us previously couldn't care less about Pryor coming here to be a WR that now think this was a terrific signing? I know I'm one.
I loved the idea of Mayle; but I have very little understanding of what he's looking like at practice to our offensive coaches and QBs thus far.
There's another guy I've been mentioning that prolly has the best foot speed on the team as well as sporting a team high TD reception volume (and red zone TD reception volume) from our WR position in 2014 and team high yards per catch average of 17.4. If he also offers elite return skills (2nd year post op) to a team that needs massive improvement there - I see the 6th spot going to Benjamin. Our OC likes to use motion which can make it tough to press Benjamin and Gabriel (our 2 ypc leaders with the best acceleration gears on the team) moving forward for over the top opportunities.

Mayle is a PS candidate.

I would not try to stash Lenz anywhere past 2nd team. He'd be snatched off the PS by any team who saw the scrimmage yesterday. Mayle? Yep, PS unless he lights it up in preseason games. Pryor too big and fast not to be out there opening up the passing game by stretching the field for the Lilliputians to get open underneath.

at this point....it's anyones game......I do believe....
Great when it's hard to figure your starting lineup because they all look good....instead of them all looking bad and waiting for a riser....
Mayles road is getting longer and longer.... Im starting to think PS or bump the thumb.....

I welcome this kind of problem all day long. Fun stuff. Lenz is very impressive.
If I had to take a stab at who stays - I'm guessing we keep these guys:
Bowe
Hartline
Hawkins
Gabriel
Pryor
Benjamin
Practice Squad: Lenz or Mayle
This is subject to change in 1-3 weeks.

i thought mayle was playing with an injury?
mayle is a candidate to stay just because of his size AND he actually did play the position in college.
i thought if there was an award for outstanding job last nite as a wr it would have definitely gone to lenz.

Lenz just reminds me of those fleas that Brady always has on his roster. Can get open with his quickness and turn up the speed after the catch. They get very annoying to other teams' defenses.

We have two of those. They're just not white.

Interesting, about Lenz ! Don't be surprised if he makes the active roster ! (didn't know he was
listed at 6'1"

One thing to watch with Lenz is injuries. With Bears and Colts he was active till injury, rehabbed then got stuck on practice squads. But we don't have Colts or Bears WR's depth chart at the time Lenz was there. Time for this kid to play a full season, he has talent to help this team. I love annoying nats driving CB's nuts than burn them deep..

Exactly. I like Lenz, but he's have to be taking a roster spot from Hawk or Gabriel rather than Mayle or Pryor... and I dont see that happening.
