Ryan Grant has surprised the hell out of me. I thought he was practice squad material but he's probably #4 on the depth chart after Jackson, Garcon and Roberts. Plays like a pro, talks like he's been around the league for a decade. Just a solid player overall.

Yep, he's been good. I was listening to John Keim, though, and he made the case for both Moss and Aldrick Robinson making the team ahead of him. He thought Moss would provide a calm, elder statesman-like presence to contract with guys like Garcon and Jackson who can get heated. And Robinson is the only guy on the bench with great speed. If they let him go and Jackson misses any time, they'll have nobody to stretch the field.

But with Roberts also playing on special teams, maybe they keep 6 WRs like they did when Brandon Banks was here. Even then, though, they'll still have to make a decision to cut someone whenever Hankerson comes back (having him on the PUP list would buy them a bit more time).

So they ended up keeping 6(one on IR) receivers:

Interestingly none over 6' tall.

Looks like they forgot about Hankerson on the PUP list. He's listed at around 6'2 I think.

I also thought Grant was taller than that. He at least seems to play bigger than 6' IMO.
