Should be mildly difficult at QB if they are high on Hodges.

WR easily stands tall over every other position on difficult decide.There is 8 WRs who are attractive for one reason or another. And there is only 6 spots available. Holton/Spencer/Eli/Switz 4 men enter two men leave. Welcome to our thunderdome.

At TE I think you keep both or the best pass catching option between Grimble and Gentry. Not sure either is the ideal blocker.If the Steelers feel the same way poach an attractive blocking TE come cutdowns.

The rest of the decisions I am not so sure they are too difficult.............
 
I don't know how we stash Skipper, but he's a keeper IMO...

Holton should be cut.

Mark me down as interested in the available TE's too. Grimble is a blocker and I think Gentry has the potential to be good but the boy needs some spinach...

Call me crazy and/or blind - but I don't see anything wrong with Hilton. If Artie Burns is better than last year, we're going to have something special; not sure if he's a good fit for the slot though???

Scotland-Williamson's injury killed his chance. He was #3 and was playing well before he got hurt early in the first preseason game, and Gentry came in. SW may be on the PS again because of it.
 
It's a good problem to have. Hope the coaches make the right decisions.
 
I think Burns tends to look good in pre-season when teams aren't game-planning and defenses (as well as offenses) are just playing on athleticism.

However, as soon as Burn is required to have his assignments down and be able to play on instinct rather than thought, he starts second guessing himself and he becomes slow and frankly a liability.

Here's hoping he has finally learned enough about playing defensive back that he can take advantage of his athleticism. I don't expect much from him though, sadly.

Skipper IMO won't be green lighted over Gilbert and Ola.

the way gilbert is playing he offers more in sub packages then REd like in the nickel you can have him asa olb coming on a overload blitz from the weakside the way we used to with shazier with bud or Timmons with Woodley.
