I will say this much:  UM and Baalke seem to be adding some late additions to the WR group that are having an impact in training camp (Treadwell and Austin).  That is most unusual.  It's to the point it seems these guys could make the final 53.

Of course, we've seen a few camp sensations  fade away once the preseason games start.

I hope their productivity isn't an indictment against the defense, but is instead a testament for UM's/Baalke's eye for talent and TLs ability as a QB.

No doubt that the wide receiver position will be the toughest in determining who makes the final 53. Treadwell and Austin have looked very good so far. Camp has a potentially big upside once he gets experience. He can also contribute on special teams. I'd have to consider keeping 7 guys to start the season. Also, if Treadwell continues to shine in the pre-season games the Jags might even be able to trade him for a 5th/6th rounder. The same might also be said about Colin Johnson. Chark, Jones and Shennault will be getting most of the reps once the regular season begins and Agnew will be another option in the slot. That leaves Johnson, Treadwell, Dorsett, Austin and Camp fighting for 2 or 3 spots.
