Will We Carry 6 WRs?

[Smonroe]

3 are obviously making the team. Will the other 3, or are only 2 spots open?

Bottom line, who is last on the depth chart?

Also, does anyone expect us to draft another WR now? Maybe in the late rounds to be on the PS.

[Poster X]

Someone has to return kicks.

[mattceinicram]

I think we'll keep 5 for sure...I am wondering who get's the boot, cause honestly I love all our guys.  I think Brazil might be the most expendable, just my opinion.

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

I would guess that Whalen is last on the chart but I think we'll keep 6. Next year is probably his last to prove he deserves a place though.

[BrentMc11]

I feel six only because Brazill is solid on Special Teams.  He could do KO returns and is excellent in coverage.  Whalen could field punts...he did well last year.

 

We still have a draft to go with some good WRs in our range.  These may not be the only names.  I am thinking now we snag Moncrief at sometime to mould.  Just a gut.

I feel we might go safety with our first pick, but it's possible they go for Moncrief.  I wouldn't like for them to add another WR though to be honest.

No with a caveat

I did see someone put out a Mock roster with 6 but left Muamba and Adongo off and that won't happen

The only way I see the Colts draft a WR or carry 6 if #6 is a return specialist

My 5 are Wayne, Hilton, Nicks, Rogers, and Whalen

I think they will go with 6. Wayne, Hilton, Nicks, Rogers,Brazill, and then have Griff Whalen returning punts.

I agree, barring injury #6 doesn't see the field. If Whalen continues to impress returning punts and Rogers continues to show he's progressing, then Brazil would be odd man out.

My thoughts exactly

[Stephen]

I disagree brazil whalen and rogers should all make the team unless they draft the next jerry rice in draft

[BrentMc11]

I feel we might go safety with our first pick, but it's possible they go for Moncrief.  I wouldn't like for them to add another WR though to be honest.

I feel Moncrief because of his size and potential...he could start on the practice squad for injuries...or make the roster if ready.

Brazill is not going anywhere PT.  His two TD game late in the season showed he was maturing in routes, and also showed the inner strength to get to the pylon!  He and Rodgers are X factors....I like their skill set big time.

In that case Whalen will be gone

[COLTS449]

Yeah, I would think we'll go with 6. Wayne, Hilton, Nicks, Rogers, Whalen, and Brazill. Anything could happen. Wayne's coming off an ACL tear, Nicks has an injury history, etc. Going with 6 is the best option for more than one reason.

[Slick_Rick]

Whalen is no longer practice squad elligible right? I'm thinking Brazill is gone if we decide to go with 5. Whalen had a few nice games last year, and has a good raport with Luck.

[BrentMc11]

In that case Whalen will be gone

Lets see what the draft brings....and see what happens.  Brazill really showed us something at the end of the year....

[James]

Rogers has too much upside. You can't cut potential number one receiver. Whalen and Brazill looked promising too, but they don't offer nearly as much as Rogers. I think we'll carry 5 WRs, and it's going to come down to Brazill or Whalen with Whalen eventually getting cut simply because Brazill is more explosive. Whalen doesn't offer big play ability.

[MTC]

Yes, because of the uncertainness of Wayne's health. 

[esmort]

I feel Moncrief because of his size and potential...he could start on the practice squad for injuries...or make the roster if ready.

I don't think we could put Moncrief on the practice squad, another team would definitely steal him.

[BrentMc11]

You may be right...I would still snag him if he fell to us...

[PrincetonTiger]

If health concerns are a worry a WR can be kept on the ps

[PrincetonTiger]

You may be right...I would still snag him if he fell to us...

Agreed and then Whalen or ?LB will be gone

[Legend of Luck]

Its hard to know. I think they will give Da'Rick every chance to win a spot on the roster this offseason. WORST case scenario, we put Brazil and or Whalen on the practice squad to start the year.

I expect this

Reggie

TY

Nicks

Rogers

Brazil

Whalen to ps. Sadly. I really like the griffer.

LB and Griff are not PS eligible

[ColtsLegacy]

Maybe we will do a player for player (or conditional pick) trade like Grigs likes to do with fringe players.

[esmort]

Depending on how the rest of FA plays out and who is on the board I would not be against it.  I think if we wanted to stash him it might have to be on the PUP list.

Will he agree to go there

[Legend of Luck]

LB and Griff are not PS eligible

Whys that?

[PrincetonTiger]

Whys that?

They both have to many years or games on the active roster

I don't think he's eligible anymore. From what I'm seeing, he played in 9 games last season alone and you can only play in an accrued 6 games or be on the active 45 man roster for 9.

That is what I thought

You have to get better.  Competition is a good thing.  Change is good....lets get the Monster crankin' on all cylinders buddy!!

Yes we are talking hypothetically as always.  I would love to see a Dion Bailey or Kenny Ladler myself....just depends who the BPA is at the time by need....or simply BPA that is too good to pass up

[MFT5]

LaVon Brazill's potential and overall talent level is is so much greater than Grif Whalen it's ridiculous we even discuss if Whalen would make it over LaVon

[beavis]

Right now there is no way we take a WR with the first pick.  It will either be oline or safety.

[esmort]

Will he agree to go there

 

I don't know, we could also put him on IR at end of training camp ... I am sure there is somewhere we could stash him.

[PrincetonTiger]

Agreed

[ColtsLegacy]

A player needs to be injured to be placed on the pup list or IR (INJURED reserve). Placing a non-injured player on the pup or IR is conniving and no player worth a damn would agree to it.

[Shive]

Right now there is no way we take a WR with the first pick. It will either be oline or safety.

Agreed. WR is no longer a need. We're already trying to figure out how we're going to keep the players we have. Why half of this board thinks adding ANOTHER unproven WR instead of a position on need (O-line, S, CB) is a good idea is beyond me.

[Colts_Fan12]

I'd go with all 6 with Reggie's injury and Nicks history. But if the cut one I hope it's either Whalen or Brazil nit Rogers stupid to cut a potential #1 WR. His talent is way too special to just give to some other team
