    DGB is raw, but his natural ability may make up for most of that. Better deep threat/jump ball man for sure. Wright is the most consistent WR on the roster though, so hard to replace that go to guy.

    Sankey is hit or miss. He looked like the player I expected to see last year in that last game. But Andrews does deserve a chance.

    Another reason I feel like Andrews needs a legitimate chance with the first team is because running back is probably the one position in football that you can miss on a early round pick and have a decent chance of finding a high round or undrafted guy to come in and put up good production.

    I have a feeling that eventually Douglas will be the most consistent. Dude is the best route runner we have at WR. Wright is just ahead of the curve a bit because he has been in that offense for a season longer than Douglas.

    not probably, RB is the easiest offensive position to come in and play well immediately

    Douglas was a good signing. He'll be the go to vet for sure. I think Wright has the edge is athleticism, but yes, Douglas could be more technically sound.

    Wright has everyone on offense beat in athleticism

    Rb is an after thought for this offense...Mariota is going to be throwing from the shotgun with 3 and 4 WR sets. Mariota's accuracy and our WRs are the strength of this team....sure running the ball helps protect a young QB...but Whiz isn't going to be able to keep from slinging the rock around

    Guaranteed 3 and 1/2. Just works a lot better with Mariotas quick short pass game. Being able to pick up a reliable 2 yards gives 3-4 yard pass attempts more power when we have a reliable 2 yard option.

    Whiz adjusted his D for Mariota, not going to move away from being pass happy though.
