I agree.  Ross and Mixon can return kicks, but they are too valuable to risk giving them the duty full time.  They will be guys used in desperate "We need a big return" situations.  We saw how long they stuck with Tate, and Erickson was a lot better than him last year, so a guy like Malone will have to outdo him by a wide margin to win the job.  Plus, Erickson was more productive as a WR in last year's preseason than Core.  Core is squarely on the outside looking in, especially since I believe he still has PS eligibility and Erickson does not.

A sleeper guy that could be on the bubble is Peerman.  Howard Wilson has played RB in addition to CB, so he would be a guy that could they could keep as the 4th RB that would also effectively give them an extra DB.
