Heard some bad reports on Henderson during OTAs. Hope it's just the usual media see what narrative sells copy bs. Hi MO.

Henderson will be #3 week 1, it will be his job to lose.

Taylor and Fowler will have s shot on the team but not as #3 in the slot.

WR-- DT
WR-- Sanders
Slot- Henderson

Backups; Latimer, Sunshine (barf) and McKenzie PR.

No more than 6, I hope.

I have two takeaways from this thread thus far -

1.) I had no idea everyone was so high on Henderson. The consensus seems to be that he's penciled in as our starting slot WR - or at least will be incorporated into the offense to get him touches.

2.) It seems Sunshine, Latimer and Fowler will be competing for 1 or maybe 2 spots. In which case I can see how Fowler seems like the odd man out. I just remember him making tough catch after tough catch in 2015. Meanwhile Latimer has had 3 years in a row where he talks about how he didn't quite get it the year before but things are about to click for him in the upcoming year. I'll believe it when I see it.

Latimer is dead man walking. He always seems to have an excuse.

Rookie WR's by and large drink d their rookie year. Except for my man Eddie Royal. Look at what Decker and Thomas did. Not impressive.

Hopefully the WR corp can jell.

Henderson should start in the slot immediately. He's obviously a lock to make the team based on being a current draftee, same with McKenzie. Henderson is good and will be an upgrade there.

I agree with most everyone else too - someone will be the odd man out. I suspect it's not Latimer - he's still cheap and was a high draft pick, plus he's incredibly valuable on special teams. I'd be surprised if he didn't make it.

I liked Fowler in 2015, but I'm beginning to think he's just a guy. He hurt us in the Titans game last year too, dropping an easy TD. He could miss the cut.

Latimer also blocks like a damn boss and I am telling you guys he is a good wr. He has some hands on him. He catches everything. Excuses and talk and hes still better than fowler and sunshine. If he ever does get it then look out. For now he is a shit for brains who is still a great 3rd/4th

Having hands is an important part of being a wide receiver.

I've seen him dive for the ball.

Career totals

Rec #1: 16 rec, 168 yards, 1td

Rec #2: 16 rec, 209 yards, 2td


Neither are "great" 3rds.

Sunshine!

I think Fowler was far closer to being ready for NFL than Latimer, and I don't blame Latimer's lack of development solely on him. Both because of the college system they played in, Latimer has the better potential though and he's never let the teams perfectly thrown PO hopes bounce off his face mask. Have I mentioned that the college spread is a ******* disease?

Fowler plays ST's too, btw, so that's not the only determining factor.
