Jeremy Kelley,Nathan Palmer,Sambrano all WR are they just camp fodder?

[bahhummbug]

Does anyone know anything about these 3 WR ? Says Kelley is 6 6 225 from AFl?

[1959Colts]

I know they have high hopes for Nathan Palmer

[CR91]

id like to see what this kelley guy can do. just by his size alone im excited. calvin johnson size oh my.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I thought we did not have any WR depth and NEEDED to draft one in the 1st round.

 

I'm'fused.

wasnt i that said we had no depth only thing i said about WR was if we took 1 in first i wanted him to be a big WR like 6 3

[NewColtsFan]

It's just too early to know about those three.    Hope springs eternal.

 

They may all be good....   they may all be cut.    Just too early to know.

[Smonroe]

I think the Colts do too.  He may break out this year.  

 

Also, remember last year when the coaches were really praising Sambrano?  He also has a lot of natural talent.

 

Kelly is a real roll of the die.  I don't expect him to make it.  But I never thought Freeman could get past training camp, so that shows how much I know.

6 6 225 though just play joe flacco throw hail marys down the field hope your guy wins

It would be nice.  He didn't do much in college, I don't know if he can turn into Megatron over night.  Probably a project at best, maybe the PS.  Adams was pretty tall, but that never panned out.

That's why I hated their games. Joe is a joke, he would just throw it up and hope for a catch or a penalty. Good for them but cheap.

[TKnight24]

I don't think any of them are "Camp bodies". Nor do I think that they're going into camp thinking that. They're gonna give it their best to make this team. And all of them have the potential to do so

He should buy everyone of his receivers a house they saved his bacon so many times with unbelievable catches.Wasnt pinpoint throwing with that arch he has it was plz catch this ball pretty plz:)

Sry not saying they wont give it their all just wondering if they have a good chance or not.Kelley played AFL never saw a game of his.

[Iron Colt]

Dont forget about Griff Whalen.

[bahhummbug]

Oh i havent ive already talked about him on several threads hes going to be fine.And rejoining Pep he will probably be a bigger part of game plan.I even mentioned him as reminding me of Wes Welker he takes some hard hits holds the ball gets up for more:)

Freeman came from the CFL. Doesn't matter where you're from, you just have to want it. You come from the AFL, not to many people will know you. So you have to ask yourself "do I want to make my name known?". I believe Kelley could be something special with his size, but he's gotta want it for himself

[Smonroe]

Look at it this way, Fleener is an inch shorter, but weighs more and is faster.  If we're going to throw it up to someone, why not him?

 

Kelly may work out, that would be great.  But he didn't set records at Maine.  Can he catch, run routes, and get seperation?  That's what's going to be interesting to see.  

 

Can't Wait!

can never have enough tall targets

[Tark The Shark]

Grigson really likes Palmer so I think he will be on the active roster, but Kelley and Sambrano will fight for a spot on the PS.

[schwamm]

Outside of Wayne, Hilton, and maybe Brazill, the rest are... I wouldn't say camp fodder... I'd say the FO and coaching staff will be sifting for gold, and hoping it isn't just a tray full of pyrite.

Jeremy kelley is a freakish athlete. His pro day numbers were: 6-6, 223lbs, 4.55f, 14reps, 42v, 10'11"bj, 3.89s, 6.60c, 1.47ten, and 2.62twenty. All these numbers except the forty were similar to Calvin Johnson. In high school he played TE and DE. At Maine he was WR but he was not very productive. He played better at Maine on special teams. In the CFL he again played WR but was not procuctive. In the UFL he was a little more productive and had 7 tds among the several catches he made. Not sure if it is coaching or he is just not going to be a good receiver. Maybe a move to SS or LB would be better.

[Dark Superman]

I wouldn't be surprised if we went WR round 1.

[Smonroe]

Heck, the only thing that would surprise me is if we went QB round 1.

[Steagles]

Jarell Freeman was CFL. Kurt Warner was AFL. Talent comes from everywhere, and luckily we have a guy in Grigson who can find it. I have higher hopes for Kelley than Palmer, but I think they can both play at a respectable level.

[USAFHoosier]

Watched some film on kelley last night.  Has skills but was against AFL players.  He does play HARD and will try to run you over. Catches with his hands and has great vertical.  Have to find a video with more than Post and streak routes.

You know, besides Fleener and Allen, we really don't have much at TE. Maybe he could put on a few lbs and try out there?

I thought we did not have any WR depth and NEEDED to draft one in the 1st round.

 

I'm'fused.

We don't have the kind of depth I want. I want 5 pro bowl wr's.

 

Anyhoo, I think only one of those guys has a chance to make the squad. I don't see why people think we are set at receiver. Besides wayne and hilton no one has proven themselves. We need to give Luck as many weapons as possible.

 

Did some people forget that the new NFL is pass happy and rules set up for the offense to succeed? I will be super ticked off if we don't get Reggie's replacement. (or at least try to) And if wayne or hilton go down, people will be singing the blues big time. If we have a chance to grab one of the top wr's, we'd be stupid not to.

[ColtStrong]

Deandre Hopkins  really has me interested, I saw him on youtube, and he looks fantastic.

 

From here http://www.milehighreport.com/2013/3/1/4041498/2013-nfl-draft-prospects-wr-deandre-hopkins-scouting-profile-denver-broncos

 

Compares to:

 

"Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts - Like Wayne, Hopkins isn't the biggest or fastest, but he's able to manipulate his routes to create separation and is a reliable pass catcher with the body control, focus and competitive nature to finish. And like Wayne (30th pick in the 2001 NFL Draft), Hopkins will likely fall out of the top-25 picks and prove to be an excellent value in the late first or early second round."

If a receiver we have graded high is on the board when 24 gets here,Grigs will probably snatch him.Thing is we do need youth in draft to maintain the team for future years,you cannot depend on spending big dollars in FA to keep a competitive team.I just do not know which side of the ball Grigs is looking.He was an offensive tackle so maybe he looks at the O-line first.Then again Pags is a Defense coach so maybe a safety to replace Bethea in future.At this point it is all speculation and each of us have our favorite players we want.Problem is most of us will not get that player .Iam for a receiver in first if and i say if he is a big receiver.And do not count out Griff Whalen if he stays healthy thru camp he will be on squad him and Pep together again.And this pass happy league also uses TEs we have 2 that can play and RBs are getting used more and more we will be fine if we dont draft 1 in first.
