The thing with our WR core is that we only have one true speed threat, and thats Garcon. Yes aldrick robinson is fast, but he's a poor mans Mike wallance, only being able to run the 9 route (aka go deep) the best and not being able to run other routes well.

Hankerson is that guy who I agree with a lot of you saying that this is going to be his make or break year; its now or never. Hankerson has shaky hands. A WR with shaky hands is like a RB who doesn't like getting hit. Useless, in other words. Hopefully Hanks hands get better because he has all the other tools to be a Roddy White-like WR. I feel that with recent Redskin history at WR, he probably won't pan out.

But its Jordan Reed whom I am most excited for. He makes up for our WR troubles. He is the Hernandez to our (not at all like) Gronkowski, Fred Davis. The problem with Fred is how effective will he be coming off a torn Achilles. Supposedly 90% of people that tear it, don't come back to their original speed. If healthy, these guys can be stars.

And Chris Thompson gives us that RB/WR combination we have been lacking, IF he too is healthy since he's missed the past 2 seasons with Back and ACL injuries.
