Pretty sure we all know how you feel about Carr already. Thoughts on Grant?

There's a chance he is the 2nd best WR on the team

 

We are gonna have a battle for the #3 WR position on the team. Nelson, Grant, Ateman or even Roberts will be an interesting

I like the pick up. He could actually win the slot role IMO.

Brown, Williams, Grant, Roberts, Nelson, Ateman, Harris  seems like a good group. Roberts need a hell of a TC to stick (if he gets to TC at all)...

People keep leaving Harris out. He will definitely make the team on STs alone and that is a check in Grant's column too as he is the only other WR we have that has experience as a gunner. STs versatility can't be overlooked as a key part of what gets WR 4 and 5 their jobs barring injury.

                          Not saying he won't be cut but it's not like these guys are a huge upgrade over him no matter how much this board dislikes him. They are cheaper though. We'll see...

Ryan Grant is def an upgrade. Unless he commits horrible holding calls and false starts too?

 

Carr just likes roberts

Carr just likes roberts

If Grant is asked to block on as many plays as Roberts, he may.

Like I said. we'll see.

I just want the best team on the field and it looks like the coaches in camp will decide at this point.

He didn't need time to click with Crabtree shouldn't be a problem clicking with AB or Williams

Solid signing but think Crabs and Cooper in 2016 are better than what we've got. Brown is excellent and Williams produces but I don't see this taking WR off our draft board at 24/27/35. None are worth #4 but 35 if we got two defenders with the fist 3 or all three is possible. Could go TE but more depth later at TE than WR in the 4th.
