Leonard Hankerson is the real deal - he will have a hell of a year.

One of several young guys drafted by Shanny that should make an impact. He's one of Shanny's most important draft picks IMO, he really needs to pan out. He looked really good in that 8 catch game. High hopes for him in 12 & beyond!

Yes and yes, that's why I'm not worried about the WR position. Add Paul and Robinson on their 2nd years and we got something.

One of these guys will emerge as a #1. Shanahan knows offensive talent - we've seen this with the running backs and now the OL.

How about a QB?

Scraping the barrel for Gross-man and Beck on the cheap? Sorry - not a very big investment, here.

Jay Cutler we really don't know about. He was making good progress till Mike got the boot.

When Paul was in there he showed nothing. Not sure what the deal is.

Wait till next year. He did not attend minicamps, short training camp. I feel good about him.

Paul is a good blocker and special teams guy. He may take a while to shine as a catching wr in the offense.

Three receivers with less than 20 career receptions? Was this a riddle?

Who was Helu? Who was Cariker? All these players just needed a shot.

That doesn't mean that every player who gets a shot tears it up.

Of course.. I was being humorous (kinda) but as much as I think Hankerson will be a stud, Paul looks like James Thrash 2.0 and Robinson may be Terrence Austin with a couple more years under his belt. I hope we plan on surrounding Hankerson with some more talented WR than Paul and Robinson.

I'm really hoping we can pick up Blackmon if he falls to us. That would be so nice to have Blackmon, Hankerson, Paul, Robinson, and Austin as our WR corp.

Why exactly would that be nice? Not being a dick, but when did Paul, Robinson or Austin show ANYTHING that would indicate them being consistent performers at WR? Paul played 13 games and caught 2 balls. Robinson didn't get off the practice squad until week 17 and was inactive. Austin has been on the roster for 2 years (18 games) and has 15 catches. Sure these guys are young, homegrown draft picks and may a future role but going into next season with the 5 you mentioned would be a disaster.
