Posted April 25, 20205 yr Alshon, Desean, Ward, Goodwin, JJAW, Reagor, Hightower, Watkins -Alshon is done here -Ward is not a lock to make the roster -JJAW is not a lock to make the roster -Goodwin is not a lock to make the roster -Reagor is a lock, and Hightower and Watkins will get every opportunity possible to make the team -They will end up keeping 6 WR's on the active roster -For better or worse, Howie had a clear plan here to get faster and younger at the position
April 25, 20205 yr While I'm not fond of Howie right now, I will say I am happy that he quadruple dipped at WR, including adding a veteran receiver. Hopefully at least 2 stick around and make a positive contribution.

He finally got his chance last year and took it. Now he's facing a real battle to even make the roster.

I completely agree. That said, while a nice story he should be a depth guy if he's even on an NFL roster. I would think if he doesn't make the team he would get a shot elsewhere. Either way, I think it comes down to two spots between him, JJAW, and Goodwin. Louis Riddick said that in most drafts Hightower and Watkins are 3rd or 4th round picks so they would have to bomb to not make the team and putting them on the PS probably isn't an option.
April 25, 20205 yr Ward has a huge advantage over Watkins and Hightower. He has NFL experience and has shown he can be effective. These late round rookies are the ones with an uphill battle. They'll be lucky to make the practice squad.

These late round rookies are the ones with an uphill battle. They'll be lucky to make the practice squad. That's true. His disadvantage though is that he wasn't a draft pick and that does matter with Howie.
April 25, 20205 yr How is Alshon done? His contract makes him un-tradable and un-cutable. The contracts of Alshon and DJax have them as locks to make the roster.

Right from the mouth of Louis Riddick. They want speed and they want their picks to work out. They would have to bomb to not make the team. Your last comment is so ridiculous it's funny. 4 minutes ago, Devaster said: How is Alshon done? His contract makes him un-tradable and un-cutable.

April 25, 20205 yr LOL! Louis has spoken! This was a deep WR class but that doesn't mean all of them are quality WRs. The sure fire WRs were long gone by round 5. Greg Ward is miles ahead of those skinny speedsters.

Great story last year but there are a lot of people who have gotten way too carried away with him.

Done as in he's not playing so he's not a factor He's injured and someone who knows his uncle has said they don't expect him playing this upcoming season

If Ward were the starter from day 1 last year, he puts up respectable numbers for a rookie. I doubt either of the late round WR are close to that level. Watkins looks to me to be the better of the two so my money is on him making the team if either do.
April 25, 20205 yr Our WR coaching has to be better. Hopefully, Moorehead is better than Carson Walch and David Culley. We have good prospects but they are going to need some coaching to develop.

Ditto. He showed promise last season as a slot receiver. If he doesn't make it here, I hope he finds a home elsewhere and excels.

MY POINT is that I think I will take his word on what type of value Hightower and Watkins since he does it for a living over some guy named abracadabra on a message board. Not to mention everyone on the planet said for months this is one of the deepest WR classes in draft history which reinforces him saying those two are 3rd or 4th round picks most years. If you want to side with Abracadabra on his belief that they will be ''lucky to make the PS'' then by all means.
April 26, 20205 yr JJAW is going to be here. Alshon's contract isnt either or untradeable or uncutable. Unlikely injured, not impossible. He has to show that he is healthy 1st. They can cut him, they have to be willing to eat the dead money. The possible trading of him is the most difficult to guage since he isn't fully healthy yet. 2 hours ago, Devaster said: How is Alshon done? His contract makes him un-tradable and un-cutable.

April 26, 20205 yr I don’t think we’ll ever see Alshon in an Eagles uniform again. Just an educated guess.
