Cole is our burner, dude can fly. Lee is a gritty receiver that will catch those McCardell type routes across the middle. Westbrook is a guy that can emerge as a stud receiver with his quickness and his take off speed. If I'm Blake, I would be working on my timing and chemistry during the preseason. Moncrief has some talent but maybe their scheme didn't fit his skill set.

To me Westbrook is the best of the group. Cole is my deep guy, when he is on the line, you just have to respect his wheels. And Lee has become the volume leader as of now.

It's anybody's race and the preseason will be fun to see who wants it the most.

I'm dying for Westbrook to show us what he has.

I'm really not so sure that Cole is as fast as some here let on. I know he seemed to get behind defenses, but I think it's more his knack for route running than actual speed. Cole ran a 4.6 as his pro day where Moncrief, Westbrook and Chark all timed very fast like something near a 4.3. I have to think all three would beat Cole in a race. Heck, Marqise Lee even ran a 4.5. That said, I'm intrigued how Cole might handle lining up at split-end, although it does seem more suited for a true burner like Chark or Moncrief. A while back I proposed they try out Dede at split-end, but the jury appears to think he's too small to beat the jam consistently.

Any way you slice it, I envision Marqise typically starting at the #2WR or flanker spot, and then maybe cover the #1WR or split-spot with Moncrief or a committee. It's hard for me to really know what Cole's ideal spot, although I know the team was very high on Westbrook eventually being our primary slot WR back when they first drafted him. 

Those times are without pads.  Corey Grant ran a 4.2 and Fournette ran a 4.5 but Fournette was the fastest player in the league last year with the ball in his hands.  Some players aren't as fast with the pads on and some take their speed to another level in a game.  Jerry Rice ran a 4.7 but not many corners could catch Rice with the ball in his hands
