Clinton Portis Loves Marko Mitchell

[53Fan]

Slim or not, I'd hate to lose him. I think his upside is pretty good and could possibly help us this year.

[CRedskinsRule]

I doubt we put a draft pick that shows promise on the PS. I also believe he has the potential to make the team on merit. Hackett wasn't even our first choice between Roydell Williams and himself. For me, Hackett is the definition of a camp body. (Eloi also). If Hackett were a killer ST player, then he could definitely take up Thrash's mantle, but as a 5th receiver he has less potential than Mitchell.

This is MY depth chart as far as the WRs are concerned. I hope most will agree. I am so pissed that Hagans and Thrash are on the new Madden. What's up with that? Thrash has been gone for a while..

1. Moss (no explanation needed)
2. Devin Thomas (takes pressure off Moss and has exceptional speed)
3. A.R.E (This position is more sutiable for him from what I've read)
4. Malcom Kelly (could have been 2-3 - But He needs to improve on route running)
5. Marko Mitchell (he has been shining in traning camp..Ask Carlos Rogers..lol) Also see CLinton Portis loves Marko Mitchell http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-l...-mitchell.html

What are your thoughts? I know Hackett knows the offense and Hagans is versatile (wonder if the wildcat or anything has to do with him being here since he was a former QB..Probably not..Poor mans A.R.E. to me)

I think Marko is a diamond in the rough and we should not chance letting another team pick him up. Having another WR with height and that can burn would be a nice compliment to Devin and Malcom in the future. We would be set for years. Moss and ARE aren't exactly spring chickens..

Need a point of clarification. Is this your suggested depth chart, or what the depth chart actually is?

[53Fan]

I like it.

True, but, if he's a draft pick that goes on the PS, he's probably not in the future plans.

Suggested

at this point on the official depth chart on Redskins.com is as follows:
Depth Chart - Washington Redskins

Hackett and Hagans are above Marko Mitchell. I for one don't want another tip toe burgular (S. Alexander) episode (seattle connections). Might call this one alligator arm souffle (T.J. Hackett)...lmao - Just kidding. Whatever reason he is not talented enough to stay on a team....

We need to build on youth. Not journeymen. If they were that good they would not be journeymen. I am supporter of UVA and MD prospects. Just not Hagans as a WR..

The depth chart doesn't tell you who is/isn't likely to be cut, it just tells you who is in line for playing time pending their making of the team.

Marko Mitchell could make the team based on his draft pick status, and then not play much offense in deference to Hackett. But Hackett and Hagans are both way more likely to be cut.

Hagens has 2 yrs in the league and to be honest I see him as another Hackett. His name excapes me, I've never heard of him before. He is 5ft 10inch's so my personal feeling is if we were to be stuck with someone 5-10 I'd rather have Eloi if he can actually catch. Only cause he's reported to have similar speed to Moss but younger which in my book speaks of Moss's future replacement. Possibly.

How sweet it would be to have 4 young WR's (Thomas, Kelly, Mitchell, and Eloi) with a mix of speed and hight to compliment Moss and ARE.

Hagans was a QB in college that was coverted to a WR/Slash player because of his height. He was a starter at UVA and did fairly well. But by no means is he or should be on our roster. We should put Eloi on the practice squad but Marko needs to be the 5th receiver.

Umm exactly. That's my point. So the depth chart had Hagans and Hackett for more playing time as far as the depth chart goes. Zorn better not play favorites with Hackett. We already made that mistake with Alexander..

So to me the depth chart reflects their opinions on each WR. Its sort of like an unoffical rank until cuts are made. Maybe feelings have changed since they made the depth chart. I hope so..

Teams have lost undrafted players, including us

He was trying to say that if teams could lose undrafted players to another team, a 7th rounder could easily be picked up by another team.

The way I see it, wasn't it Portis that chewed off Gibbs ear about Sean Taylor??? Apparently the guy knows talent when he sees it... I am just sayin....

If Hackett makes the team and Mitchell gets plucked from the practice squad, Zorn better pray that Marko doesn't become the next Colston for somebody else.
