Which receivers make this team?

I saw Lenz play in college many times over. Great route runner, deceptively quick off the snap as he created separation more times than not, and comes back to the ball extremely well.

They need Mayle, he isn't going anywhere. I suppose Bowe will be fine in a few weeks.

Duke is ready to come back as a rb/r, if he wasn't back already today.

Gabriel isn't going anywhere, either.

tough decisions to make. The Browns' practice squad is going to be

scrutinized bigtime, around the NFL.

Tour, they do have to deal with their own fans.

I wouldn't underestimate Moore making this team as well. Teams across the league covet the special teams ace and Moore has become that dude. He had a nice strip in the first game and made good plays last year. I'm intrigued by Pryor as much as anyone but I'm not as convinced as a bunch of you here that he'll be on the squad.

I see Pryor as the third TE to save a roster spot at WR

The odd man out to me is the TE Housler...or

We keep an extra WR (Pryor) and only two TE

Same theory different setup either way Housler

Ain't done shit and is the less paid FA...JMO

With the way we love using 12 personnel, I'd hope we'd keep more than two TE's.

Mayle is coming off an injury. It's early but I think we keep him over Pryor for sure.

Mayle has been coming on strong while Pryor was the early pleasant surprise of camp. This seems like an opportune time to take a look at some ages in here when we weigh best football ahead vrs best football behind:

Bowe 30

Hawkins 29

Hartline 28

Moore 27

Pryor 25

Benjamin 25

Gabriel 24

Lenz 24

Mayle 23

Jennings ? (undrafted rookie)

Tour2ma

LOL... and we're collectively back up to about 14 WRs...

Fair enough... but is there that big of a following for Hawk?

Bowe, Hawk, Hartline, Gabriel, Pryor, Benjamin.

Mayle to IR.

Lenz to PS?

Moore and Jennings to the street.

Its not looking good for Housler right now.....I agree....

He's listed third and Bibbs(who is 4th) is clearly outperforming him at camp....the scrimmage.....and game 1......

And now I see that the Redskins just lost their 2nd TE this week(both are out for the season)......I say the farmer should get on the phone with them tomorrow and get us a late draft pick and some extra cap room.....

Judging by Zombo, myself, and others' reactions I would say yes. But what I was referring to was actually fans of others teams that would feel they got fleeced because they underestimate Hawkins, even if that coach and GM are aware of how good he is.

Tour2ma

Hey! That was my original point!

Mudfly

Bibbs working with the 1's today.......plus Lenz, Benji and Mayle all having a good day against Bills.....

gumby73

Good on Pettine. "When you practice well you will get your opportunities." Bibbs with 1's thanks Mud.

jcam222

To me its starting to look like a shame Bowe has so much guarantee in his salary

thenew23

I think we may be looking at 7 WRs making this roster. If we're keeping the 53 best players, then it seems this group will provide quite a few of those...

Shaw getting hurt helps Pryors shot of making the roster IMHO

calfoxwc

Well, one of these little wr's in camp would look good on the practice squad.

I want to see Wynn return a couple punts this pre-season. There's one in the video at the 2:00 mark. Needless to say "he could go all the way"... Looks to have the quicks and mentality to thrive in that role. Surprisingly he had only 20 returns spread over his last two years at Indiana.

Hard to say about his WR prospects. Whole lotta uncovered post routes in that video generated by speed alone... mostly against lesser opponents, e.g., not many highlights vs. the Buckeyes.

gumby73

The way this is going we may have a heck of a return team. Benji, M. Moore, Gilbert, Duke and Wynn all play other positions and will get interesting to 53 man roster but 3 WR's will be tough to keep unless your making plays on Special Teams like M. Moore. Benji's not giving anybody anything and if Pryor is in the mix we may see him as a 3rd QB on the roster.
