Great names, but how many are fighting injuries?  How many are on the backside of their careers?  How many are overpricing themselves?  How many would want to be #5 on the checkdowns?

We will fill our #5 spot with either a draft pick that blows it up in camp, a rookie import that blows it up in camp, or one of the many placeholders we have on the current roster, even Wheatfall.

White, Pokey, Demski, Neild and someone else... we don't need a star for that spot, just someone better than Hargreaves, Ralph, Poblah, Doneff or Jade Ettienne... 

You left off Addison Richards!

On that list, the two I'd be interested in are Rambo and Bridges, both young with potential without the price tag of a well established vet.  Don't care if they slot #1 or #5, makes no difference.

To me, this is going to be a rookie. I think we know what we have in Kase, so we should move on.
I really like Gerald Monroe as a prospect. We have 18 WR's on the roster currently, so I'm hoping that one of them jumps off the page in preseason!
I'd rather not spend more money on WR since this WR5 won't really get many looks.

One win is OK.  No issue with that, give them something nice to talk about on the break.

Why? This season's already lost and a win tonight doesn't help their draft aspirations.

Some pretty tempting receivers still left.

Charleston Rambo
Bralon Addison
DeVaris Daniels
Shemar Bridges
Dom Rhymes
Steven Dunbar
Kurleigh Gittens


I see the CFL is not keeping the FA list updated, so some of these may already be signed.

I was erring on the side of caution.  Just saying, we didn't make one marquee signing, and while the flyers we signed mostly fizzled, none were of the calibre of these signings.

Fair enough. I basically agree with you on Walters' approach last year at this time, BTW. It was too complacent of an approach, and when factored into the other miscalculations made by the regime, sheds some more light on the decline during the season and its ultimate demise in the ESF.

FWIW, I think Vaughters was the best move Walters made in FA last year.

I'm not sold on this.  You don't need a super tall and beefy guy doing the rail go routes.  You need straight up speed and hands, and timing.

Why have all that Nield beef and not use it inside?  Unless you having him crossing inside every snap, for tough crosser catches or blocking.

If the 5th is Wheatie (say), doesn't it make more sense to put him out wide?  I always thought Kenny was a bit wasted out wide.  Arguably his best blue & gold game in his last season was the WDF where he caught a zillion TDs, most in the middle.

They can use Nield like Woli, they never did move him to an inside slot.
