Anthony Mix worked as the Redskins' third receiver during the team's first minicamp practice of the offseason Friday.
He also saw "several reps" with the first unit of Antwaan Randle El and Santana Moss. Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly didn't run with the starters, but it's early. Mix made an impressive one-handed grab on the first day.

ey's point, anyone know if they are making more than MIX. I bet they are.

All three of these guys are trying to make a name for themselves. This should get interesting.
Man, if Mix, Thomas, and Kelly all make a big splash. Then Zorn rotating them in and out, mixing up all the WRs. The D's won't know what to do. Then add in the TE's and RB's. Whoo.
I hope it all pans out.
Im pretty excited to see what Zorn can do with our O.
However on the flip, side, I really hope our D don't drop off. I really don't know what to expect from our D this year.

Why do you say they should make more CS26?
What have they done in the NFL that Mix has not?
Thomas and Kelly did better in college than Mix, but none have played a down in the NFL as WR.

In 2 NFL seasons Mix has 3 catches. He was undrafted out of college and was mediocre in college. Kelly and Thomas both had success in college and were drafted in the second round. Thomas and Kelly are also 4 years younger than Mix and have a lot more potential imo.

Geez, we would have a 6'2" shorty out there with the tall receivers.

Who is Johnson

Kelly should have been one of the top 3 receivers taken in the draft.SkinsJock wrote:This should not be a surprise really because each year there are a lot more players who play better than the scouts and know-it alls thought they would. The list of players taken in rounds 3 thru 7 who become really good players in the NFL is often filled with success stories - there are a lot more players taken in the first 2 rounds who do not turn out to be good NFL players
I would really hope that Kelly works out for us because the only reason he was not in the top 100 players was because of the combine AND his Pro day times - I think that players should be judged more on what they have done in college than at one combine and one Pro-day
Kelly IS the ideal west coast receiver and I do not believe his 40 time at the pro day is indicative of his football speed. Regardless, we didn't need a speedster, we needed a big possession guy with great hands. Kelly is that guy. . . and then some. He's going to be a nice addition for us. ARE made comment about Kelly making some nice grabs today in camp.BnGhog wrote:I think Thomas and Kelly will have to earn their spot.

ey's point. Jake Long making more money other established tackels makes a point. But this one doesn't.John Manfreda wrote:BnGhog wrote:I think Thomas and Kelly will have to earn their spot.

Mix hasn't proven anything, how does this prove

Because it would be ludicrous to pretend that the three receivers have the same potential. Kelly or Thomas could be busts but that doesn't make them equal with every other rookie entering the league. You are denying the reality that some players are poised to succeed, and because of that their skills are in high demand.
ey's personal issue is, so rookies won't make more than probowlers. But why pay a buy at all based on potential, if guy like Tom Brady is drafted in the 6th round, and getting paid 1/4 of what Ricky Williams got paid right out of the draft. Based on potential? Makes no sense.
