I agree, but where do you fit him in with Mitchell now? Is Thorpe the odd man out?

Well, it's always possible Mitchell doesn't make the team, right? A few years back, I would have thought Tony Horne was going to make the team as a returner, at least.

But let's assume Mitchell makes the team as at least the #3 guy (which is what I'm thinking).

The people below him in the struggle for a roster spot should be:
Boerigter: if fully recoverd, may have some rust. Or he may come back at the level he left, which was a solid #2 and possible #1 receiver.
Chris Horn: we've already discussed him. But to recap, he seems to always exceed expectations.
Richard Smith: looked great in pre-season, wasn't a factor in the regular season. He should have improved based on having a full off-season with the Chiefs, and a full year in the system. But maybe he already peaked?
Craphonso Thorpe: He may be the steal of the draft, or he could be a bust. He had the speed, and claims to be fully recovered from his broken leg 2 years ago. But maybe he needs a season on the practice squad?

And a season-ending injury can happen in training camp to anyone. I hope it doesn't...

But the bottom line is that if everyone improved according to expectations, and no one gets injured, I do fear that Chris Horn might be the odd man out...which is why I'm hoping for him to make the team most.

I don't read the Sports section, so I missed this one.

I hope Chris does well. That's a pretty big deal to come out of RMC and get to the NFL.
