Originally posted by chargeroo View PostPokey ran a 4.6 in the forty. Not real fast for a WR so that's probably why he went undrafted. That also will hinder him as he competes for a spot against our bottom three WR's.
But, I've often said those forty times don't tell the entire story. In his highlight film you see him getting deep against some pretty good teams. He may be similar to MW. We'll find out in training camp.

Pokey is a superb project player with substantial potential who, if he develops, could find a roster spot next season or beyond, depending on what happens with KA or MW or even JP. He could find himself on the roster this year if there is a injury. But he's not going to bump Guyton out of a roster spot in TC unless Guyton's knee is not 100 percent.

They should have these guys get timed in a full uniform, not in shorts. Then they would know what they can expect from a prospect.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

allen, williams, johnston, davis, guyton, leaves one spot open which they should fill, I do't like the idea of carrying only 5 but they have done that under staley, granted there was less talent in the WR room but now there is also more talent across the rest of the roster to consider as well..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

What you say about Guyton was true when he was a rookie but he improved at both of those. Are you one of those guys that form an early opinion and will never change it?
Not seeing it. If it was there, I’d say so, so agree to disagree I guess.

no one knows who will impress in camp...... maybe guyton gets totally out played by him or someone else???

And if you don't want to throw it to any of those guys, you can always throw it to Everett or Ekeler. Take your pick JH.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

"At the end of the day, making him feel at ease that he doesn't have to carry us," Beatty said. "That's one of the great things about this situation is. He's got Mike Williams, he's got Keenan Allen and he's got Josh Palmer … they've been in this league over time.
"So it's not like we're counting on you to come in and be the No. 1 receiver on Day 1, but that being said, he should compete to be the No. 1 receiver on Day 1. They kind of both go together," Beatty added."
It'll be fun.
