All safe choices, and I agree they will have big seasons with the exception of Dieter. We all know June doesnt rotate receivers, and it will take a lot for him to jump over Thompson, Ace, Guinyard, or Holman on the outside.

Ace didn't know the offense last year, I'm betting dieter already does. I think he will get plenty of PT.

Then why did we sign him? I'm sure he will play.

As a general rule I wouldn't bet on a Freshman Wideout. Not only in this offense in general, but with this lineup in specific. Given what we have on the outside. If he gets significant playing time, I think it will be because of injury.

I like Jay Scott in the final spot.

Sure would be a shot-in-the-arm if everyone shared your enthusiasm - is there something you could prescribe for the "woe is me" crowd?

Sick of the outspoken drumbeat Eeyores on here. There's a ton to get excited about with this team.

Dieter didn't get a chance to participate in spring do to injury. Mental reps can only take you so far. Over/under on 10 catches for Dieter next year and I'm taking the under.

Dieter, IMHO, is a faster version of Bobby Chase with a significantly better nose for the ball. He could potentially be the "safety net" we haven't had since Emmanuel Sanders. I could see him either not getting much PT because he's young or going for 1,000+ if he develops enough report with the QBs.

A controversial pick as breakout player in 2012, especially as he's coming back from a knee injury. But if he gets on the field, he has the potential to wear down and frustrate smaller CUSA DBs.

He played against zero talent small DBs in highschool, and is coming off an injury that kept him out this spring. I look forward to seeing him in 2013.
