Steve Ishmael is perfect for ARob's role. Most of the these taller WRs run like a 4.65 which doesn't cut it in my book. I like Sutton and St. Brown because they can run something like a 4.45. Running a 4.5 flat is close enough to be comfortable with his speed and he's tall enough, so now it's about actually looking at him, and I do like what I see. He's awesome at high pointing the ball and just snagging it out of the air with his hands. I can see him developing just fine as Moncrief's backup this year.

I'm thinking we play Westbrook exclusively in the slot this year...

split-end: Moncrief, Ishmael
slot: Westbrook, Mickens
flanker: Lee, Cole

Westbrook is not a slot guy at all. Where do you get that feeling from? Because he is smaller? When I think slot I think of Fitzgerald, Landry, Baldwin, Tate, Theilen, Keenen Allen, Kupp, JuJu, and Cobb. Maybe lineup in the slot from time to time to run some deep routes, but exclusively? He should be used like how Desean Jackson has been used. Westbrook would be physically dominated in the slot if used "exclusively" there.
