Wide receivers on other practice squads

Archer : 10/20/2020 8:37 pm
I was looking at players who are on other teams practice squads and I noticed a couple of players who are intriguing

Laquan Treadwell ,
Kevin White,
Rodney Adams
Jajuan Jennings

Treadwell and White were former number ones who have great size and speed

What are your thoughts?
Treadwell blows and White is made out of glass

If healthy I would take a shot
To be honest....

I'm wondering why they don't call up Derrick Dillon. We could use the speed.

I was thinking about this the other. I am not sure if anyone good is out there. You would think one team has someone to take a shot on out there if we dont like the backups/starters we have. Not saying super star obviously, but worth the risk at this point.
I hope that they promote

What about someone like Maurice Ffrench  
SteelGiant : 10/20/2020 9:49 pm : link
He might be another small guy, but he is FAST and has good hands. KC has him so not a bad place to look.

He could turn into a playmaker.

Ha! His last name is strange, but the dude broke Larry Fitz college record and could bring some dynamic to this offense. He also can play specials so that has to be worth some points to play for Judge. He runs deep and jet sweeps. Who knows if can do it in the NFL but he is the kind of gamble that I would take right now.
They are obviously bring up someone

Currently have 2 healthy WR's.
I hope it is Victor.
It would be nice to have some size
Treadwell dropped in the draft because he was slow. After the draft,

They found out he couldn’t catch and couldn’t separate. Intriguing!
Treadwell  
stretch234 : 10/20/2020 10:40 pm : link
He can’t run at all. If he could with his size he would be playing

The problem about signing a guy now is I think he has to be on the 53. In other words, I don’t believe you can go from PS to another PS. Secondly, I think it takes a while for a WR to learn the playbook. How long does it take? I’m not certain.

Yes he would have to go to the active roster unless there is Covid rule that I am missing. But I am not thinking about changes that would only help this year. I think it might just be worth the risk. The guy would probably at worst be the new return man and give you a chance to get another young possible difference maker a shot. Also dont Covid signings have to go through some protocol so he wont be available immediately. We signed Freeman and he went in pretty quickly, granted Ffrench is rookie but still I think you can give some plays to see what he can do.
I think Fatman had a good point on another thread

What's Anthony Dable doing?

Like you, I’m very disappointed in our WRs.
Board, Ratley, Tate, Mack.....if Shepherd can stay healthy and Slayton stay healthy, we should get by, but like you, I would like at least one more guy who can make an impact.

So I'm biased, but I'd love to see Keelan Doss get a shot.
Treadwell

Must be one of the biggest busts in draft history. IIRC, he was the highest rated, first-taken WR in draft -- and that was the last anyone heard anything about/from him.
