This actually brings up another important point: as much as we wanna be deep at receiver, realistically only 3 of them will see significant catches.
So, that leaves 3 realistic choices:
1) Breaston, who has proven in the past to be a productive player. Might be over-qualified for a 5th spot, and a waste for someone who won't get much time. If he stays, he moves up to 3rd in the rotation, just in my opinion. Otherwise he's gone.
2) Tanner, kind of a duplicate Lance Moore/Wes Welker type. Doesn't amaze you with blinding physical ability or size, but might become an invaluable 3rd down WR. He just catches the ball. The question is, do you need another Moore on the team, one who's slower, as the 5th guy? Again, you wouldn't be utilizing his single asset if he's last in the rotation.
3) Hakim- interesting choice. Sure he drops things, but you still have to play back on him. If the idea is to have someone open the field for Colston, Graham and Moore, then Hakim fits the bill.

4.) Colston, Moore, Toon, Stills make the roster and we pick up a burner type receiver off of waivers (that can catch, at least decently, and may have a little experience) after some of the preseason cuts take place around the league.
