Monk in the Hall! Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 With our three (post 6th round post edit) WR pics today both grading as at least round 3 talent, we could have an interesting depth chart. I am assuming we keep 6 on the roster. "Given" Roster spots Moss- given (if we sign him) Hankerson- looks like a possible #2 in long run, highly likely to make the team Armstrong- he may get pushed down, but looks to be on roster Battling for 2-3 remaining spots Banks- likely makes team as return guy. Had him as a definite.. but now with Robinson, not so sure Paul- on paper looks like he could be rest of the rest (of course, who really knows) Austin- smallish but with some ability. If Paul is a player, will likely push Austin down Kelly- I know, I know... but, IF healthy, he is better than any of these two above (I know... big IF) Williams- looks to be gone Robinson- initial feedback looks interesting.... could he replace banks on return and be a more viable down WR My first call (w/ grain of salt as I have never seen any of our draft pics play) Moss- if we sign him Armstrong- could be #3-4 by years end Hankerson- could be #1-2 by years end if all goes well Kelly- (I know, I know- but could be a #2-3 if healthy) Austin- showed something last year. But could easily seen as gone if Paul or Robinson pan out Banks- just too good on KR but if Robinson can cut it, Banks inability to contribute strong during offense (small size) could cost him PS- Paul/Robinson Cut- Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer5500 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hankerson has the potential to be a #1 receiver for us. Roydell Williams hits the street, Kelly follows. Terrence Austin back to the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Post-draft? Hankerson will be second from the bottom and Paul will be at the bottom. I'm not being pessimistic here because I don't expect both of them to stay there for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinC Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Moss is the #1 if he comes back. Armstrong earned the #2 spot with his performance and production last year - that's where he will start going into camp at least and probably into the season. If Kelly can stay healthy he can battle with Hankerson for #3. Given Kelly does not play teams though if he can't win that battle and/or misses time again that's all she wrote for him as a Redskin IMO. If he wins that battle Hankerson is #4 and Banks is #5. Austin and Paul will be fighting for the last spot if Kelly busts out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinofwar Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Not sure if Niles Paul really has had that much of chance to show everyone what he has yet...Nebraska had a terrible QB last year. http://youtu.be/j-uyAe9CwJ4?hd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebornempowered Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I am guessing they think Moss will not return or they don't want him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styx491 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I think they're prepping for when Moss DOES leave more than prepping for him leaving next year. I think he will def be here next year, but having bodies learning the offense plus Leonard getting more comfortable in DC is huge for when he steps into the #1 role.

MartinC Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yet another receiver drafted. Aldrick Robinson SMU. This guy sounds interesting. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2011/profiles/aldrick-robinson?id=2495331 Going to be quite a fight for the last one or two roster spots depending if we keep 5 or 6 receivers. Things are looking bleak for Kelly unless he can win one of the top 3 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Banks certianly isn't guaranteed a roster spot with Paul and Robinson in the mix. Both have return ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truant Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sounds about right. I think Austin has a leg up on one of the last spots. Knows the system, has some experience, got on the field late last year. Let's not forget that he started to show some ability when utilized. I like Robinson as well. Just has a good vibe. Going to be tight. Kelly needs to have a monster camp to make up for not playing special teams. Williams shouldn't even be allowed to go to camp. Weird, one of our oldest positions just became VERY young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALL-LE Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 did u really just say Banks is only a likely" to make the roster??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk in the Hall! Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yep.... if Robinson has near the speed and better size (for playing on offense)- maybe he has a chance. But Banks had such an insane year returning.... you are probably correct to question my sanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Skinhead in Saints Land Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Not to mention the rule changes to kickoffs could effect the value of Banks. Gonna be a lot of touchbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayAction Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Banks is a one-trick pony. Fortunately for him it's a very valuable trick. He really has to polish his craft to be considered as even a part time WR. Austin will make the team as the speedster but he'll also need to keep working to stay viable. I hope Kelly was working on hitting the books during the offseason. If he doesn't get his mind around all his responsibilities it won't matter whether his knee is finally healthy or not. Hankerson is his replacement in waiting. While none of these guys was considered elite talent, some of them at least are an upgrade to roster.

I was told that we're looking at more than 50% of kickoffs being touchbacks.. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Then Banks value goes up 'cos he makes big returns on a frequent basis. Though if Banks is returning I bet we get a touchback every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 My first call (w/ grain of salt as I have never seen any of our draft pics play) Moss- if we sign him Armstrong- could be #3-4 by years end Hankerson- could be #1-2 by years end if all goes well Kelly- (I know, I know- but could be a #2-3 if healthy) Austin- showed something last year. But could easily seen as gone if Paul or Robinson pan out Banks- just too good on KR but if Robinson can cut it, Banks inability to contribute strong during offense (small size) could cost him PS- Paul/Robinson Cut- Williams I like your chart, with Austin/Robinson being the slot most up for grabs. Ideally speaking, Robinson or Austin would show some aptitude for PR at the next level because as much as I like Banks, his lack of ability to really contribute much on offense is a liability. And the jury's still out on his durability back there. As much as I loved his excitement, quiet as it's kept, he was tied with 3 guys for 9th in PR Avg. Point only being, pretty much half the league's punt returners were equal to or better. The way people were losing their minds, you'd have thought there was nobody like him in the league. Danny Amendola had the exact same PR avg with two more returns, but he also caught 85 balls. Immediately in front of him were Desean Jackson and Davone Bess, i.e guys that can contribute elsewhere and do. Having a guy that only returns kicks and nothing else isn't really a luxury we can afford for too long. I hate to say that cuz dude almost one a couple games all by himself.

Oldskool Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 What the team has added in the WR's corp from this draft is a nice possession receiver (Hankerson) and allot of speed. Draft chart is something I don't really care much about right now, Im more excited about the depth and flexibility that this ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCchillin89 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 1. Moss - Goes to the slot in 3 WR sets 2. Hankerson - Eventually becomes #1 3. Armstrong - Was most effective as 3rd WR 4. Paul - Dark horse. Wasn't really able to show his stuff in College 5. Banks - His evolution as a WR continues. Was dynamic as BOTH a KR and PR, will be used in gadget plays PS: Aldrick Robinson - Hopefully Moss' replacement Terrance Austin - Armstrong's eventual replacement Cut: Williams Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your initial statement was right. It's entirely possible Banks might not make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
