53 Man Roster

Erickson and Ross have great footwork and use it tocreate seperation.  Erickson ran a lot of the red zone routes in preseason that you saw Ross run at Washington.  Ross obviously has better top end speed, but it's not like Erickson is slow.  Erickson is 6'0", btw, which is far from small.  Statements like this make it seem like you are just jock riding Core and really don't have a clue about what Erickson brings to the table.  Erickson is a better slot guy, but 6'0" and 4.44 in the 40 is big and fast enough to play outside if needed.  Malone is a bad route runner, fyi.  The only thing he is remotely similar in is speed.  Finally, if I was targeting Ross in the draft, it would make sense to put up a smokescreen by talking up my current WR'S.

I hope we keep 7 WR's in 2017 and do it simply by eliminating a QB from the 53 man roster.

As far as Core, I think as a WR he has advantage if he can develop into Green's backup and I think he can. He has the size, he has the speed. If I look at our WR's he is the only one as of now until Malone develops to be a minny AJG (obviously not near the talent, but no back up has elite starter's talent).

WR1 - Green - Core
WR2 -Lafell - Boyd - Ross, Core, Malone
 Slot - Boyd, Ross, Erickson

Is this sneario strictky from a WR, Erickson may be most expendable

ST  - Erickson great returner
Core - is very good gunner

Just an opinion
