Keep an eye on Derek Wright. He came to us an UDFA under the previous regime and looked good during his limited playing time last preseason (against the Commandos). Good route running and catches the ball well. Reminds me a Proehl a little. Will make nice strides in this offense.

The 6th WR we would carry would have to do returns as evident by the numerous returners we brought in. With TMJ, Thielen, Chark, Mingo being locks, the last 5th WR would have to beat out Shenault who will also be used in gadget plays as well as some returning. You cant just be a WR only as a 5 or 6.
