I think Spruce makes it over Thomas.... McRoberts could sneak up there but Thomas had some drops and mistakes... I think Spruce can get his spot

Here's the thing, 29.

Reynolds can take the top off a D.

Woods and Kupp? Maybe not so much.

I honestly don't think Tavon is much of a deep threat, despite his speed. Do you?

Which brings us to Thomas and Spruce.

Thomas has the deep speed but suspect hands.

Spruce has fabulous hands but lacks the deep speed.

Does McVay want to enter the season with only one genuine deep threat WR? (Reynolds, the rookie). I don't think so.

So, by a process of elimination, either Thomas has to prove that his hands problem has been corrected, OR one of the other WR's with deep threat speed and decent hands might take his place and maybe Spruce's, too.

As an aside, I wonder if hypnosis has been considered for Thomas as a means to correct his hands problem? I'm serious. The kid can make acrobatic, even one handed catches on one play, then turn around and drop one that lands in his breadbasket. So frustrating. I can only imagine how frustrated HE is.


I agree with much of what you're saying...honestly drafting Reynolds and Kupp really gives us some depth and variety at the position. I see Thomas skill set...and it's something we could really use...the drops were bad...but his play as the gunner on special teams was good...

one thing that has me hyped about Spruce is that he's obviously put in a ton of work to reshape his body...

The guy has put on a lot of muscle since last season... I think he's looking to expand on his versatility......not just being a slot receiver.... The word was..even before the cowboy game last year.... reports were saying that Nelson Spruce was unguardable in practice prior to his injury....
