I was hopeful he would make the team but he has done nothing. Problem is a bet some team will claim him.

WR depth is the last thing im worried about on this team right now. Lewis was just a 7th round flier, if he makes the team nice. But if he doesnt he'll go to the PS and if someone takes him from there they can have him. Not that big of a loss

lol...nice thread...on a 7th rd WR...oh yes I can't wait for "Stevie Johnson was a 7th rounder!""..lol
Why is that a problem ?
Lewis is camp fodder. For us or any other team

We do not have a wr that can be that box out red zone option and the fact ej did not even look his way yesterday shows me his standing. Like you guys said not a big deal and I agree but I was hoping he could be a red zone matchup problem since as they said last year we have been one of worst red zone td scoring teams of not the worst the last two Aeasons.
Davis and Thompson have been really impressive.

Did anyone think Stevie Johnson would turn into what he became after his first preseason, I know I didn't.So we failed on a 7th Round pick, it's not like their only team that ever has. Toss in he might still make the PS.
Certainly I want picks to pan out but it is what is is.
The thread should be about O'leary. Not sure he's making the team.
I think nick makes the team personally. The mulligan has me concerned though. Gragg needs to make the roster and I really like gray so if they keep 4 it is between nick and mulligan.
It's a good sign when a team has enough talent that it needs to cut good players.

Yes.
Dez Lewis was a wasted draft pick. So was Tony Steward and Nick O'Leary and IMO Karlos Williams. We had an awful draft. And the Sammy move was terrible and the Stevie trade and Bryce Brown trade were each awful. I also am not a huge fan of the McCoy for Kiko one. Doug Whaley needs to get it together.
You sure like your fan favourites -- Hogan and Stevie.
Steward and O'Leary may be wasted picks. I would have preferred the picks be used on the OL.
Karlos may be the steal of the draft. Very talented. Very big. Goal line RB with enough speed to be used to spell off Shady.
You should research Bryce Brown. Most highly recruited RB heading into college. If he learns to hold onto the ball, he will be an excellent RB.
This will be Freddie's last year. Boobie is marginal. Karlos and Bryce will be on this team next year.
Whaley's the first GM we've had since Donahoe to produce a winning record on the field. I think he's doing quite well at building the roster. I'd like to see a little more depth along the OL and better TEs but all and all on paper this is the best group of talent we've had in quite some time. To me Williams represents a future replacement for FJax, I hated the Stevie trade when it happened and felt it was a mistake but O'Leary is a developmental type and Steward might be too.
95% of late round picks are usually out of football within 2 yrs. Dez may possess natural ability, be we will never know his football intelligence, passion, or his love of the game. Instead of being disappointed in him, be happy with Andre Davis and Deonte Thompson, they have shown that have "it"
Dez Lewis belongs on the practice squad. Thompson and Davis on the 53. Goodwin and Hogan traded or cut. JMO.
