    Way too early to tell. But just for fun I predict Jones. He has the size, speed, and athletic ability to become at the least a #2.

    He was projected as a late 4th - early 5th rounder before being kicked out of his pro day.

    I really hope all these guys contribute well, great way to create competition in camp also.

    I think the most immediate impact will be Martin, because he is the quick, deep threat, slot receiver that can create mismatches for the defense and that can compliment Andre. Find him in space and he can create a ton of problems for a defense that is keying on Andre, OD, or Foster.

    Long term, I would think Jones has the best chance, although, he does drop some easy balls, but hopefully thats correctable.

    Posey will be a nice possession receiver.

    I really think we got 3 guys who have a future and who can shore up our WR crew. Do I think any of them have #1 potential, not too sure about that, but for the time being, I cant ask for much more.

    You're not kidding. This just happened to be the first video that popped up but he dropped 3balls in that game alone. The kid sounds like he's got a ton of potential, but his hands seem like it could be an issue.

    Looks like Jones has a lot of Jacoby in him.

    I don't think any of them beat out Jacoby or Walter which is sad.

    I pick Jones cuz played at N. Carolina which, according to TJ has a similar style offense.

    Also, I heard him on 950am radio this beautiful Sunday morning telling everyone he is the NEXT ANDRE JOHNSON and guaranteeing that he will be a starter. He worked out with Keenum at PLEX and said Keenum was very smart and puts a nice touch on the ball.

    I want to say Jones because I think he has a super high ceiling, but I have to say Robinson because he is going to get a lot of looks if we send Jacoby packing.

    Jones has a lot of potential, but I just hope he improves his hands. Seems to drop a lot of catchable balls. All the physical tools are there, though. For now, I think Posey is the most likely to pan out.

    Is there a case of a college player who had the dropsies and all of the sudden held on to the ball in the pros?

    Can't think of any specific instances, but I think hands can be improved to a certain degree through drilling. If he's serious about being the next Andre Johnson, then he'll put in the work and will improve. Then again, he might just be all talk.

    They won't have to beat out Jacoby since he likely won't be on the team.

    Dwight and Jacoby are brothers from another mother. She had bad hands too.
