I think he takes Bersin's roster spot

Udfa WR are lousy about getting you excited and not making the team. Meh. Hope he makes me wrong 

[Bj-Monster23]

Gettleman knows WR's when he sees them. We got a steal with Keyarris Garett!

[Bartin]

I really like him and I honestly I wouldn't have blinked if he was drafted in the 3rd or 4th rounds. However, I will say that his small hands and drop issues are worrisome. We have enough trouble with drops already lol. I would love it if we could get a sure handed WR. Competition for the 4th and 5th WR spots should be Intense. Brown, Hill, Garrett, Norwood, Bersin and Byrd will be an interesting battle to watch in preseason.

KB, Funch and Ginn are obviously locks.

Its why I want to sign Boldin. KB, Boldin, Ginn, Funchess, Brown, and Garrett would make a nice group of WRs.

Small hands yes, drop issues no. He doesn't have drop issues, you're just pulling that out of your ass. PFF credits him with only two drops on catchable balls for the entire season.

He's got some height and reach. Based on the highlights, all I see is slants and go routes, though. If he has any role, I would guess he's our deep guy. 

[LUUUUUKE]

Cam be like

[MadHatter]

I know it is a highlight video, but he really made a lot of tough and contested catches .

[The Lone Panther]

A guy we can't put on the practice squad.  He'll get picked up real quick.

I think people are overlooking Hill. He has been mentioned several times since last year's training camp,  by Gettleman,  Rivera and Cam. 

KB

Funchess 

Ginn 

Hill

Garrett 

Maybe Philly,  if they decide to keep six

Lots of encouraging detail & stats about Garret in the Reception Perception analysis of this year's WR prospects

http://www.thebackyardbanter.com/reception-perception-2016-nfl-draft-prospects-results.html

Over the last several draft classes, the trend of college receivers entering the league with experience lining up on just one side of the field continues emerging. Last year, both Kevin White and Dorial Green-Beckham fit that mold. This year, All four of Kenny Lawler (98.5), Keyarris Garrett (97.6) and Josh Doctson (94.3) took over 94 percent of their Reception Perception sampled snaps from the right wide receiver spot.

...

With such drop problems infecting some of the best receivers in this class, those who make clean catches deserve recognition. Rashard Higgins has some of the best hands in this class on film, and recorded the second lowest drop rate (2.0). Keyarris Garrett is not a perfect player, but has no drop problems in his game. Doctson, Carroo and Sterling Shepard are the shining group of top-level prospects that don’t let drops creep onto their tape. 

....

If you’re looking for arbitrage plays within this draft class, there are two that reveal themselves here with their 72.7 conversion rates. Cal’s Kenny Lawler is quietly one of the best players at winning contested catches, and carries a similar frame to Josh Doctson. Keyarris Garret is just as strong at playing in tight coverage at the catch point, and comes with a similar build to Laquon Treadwell. Teams that miss out on the duo in the first round should consider these potential discounted versions later on in the draft. 

...

Corey Coleman, Malcolm Mitchell and Keyarris Garrett charted out with route trees heavily skewed toward screens, slants, curls or nine-routes. Now, that’s not worth holding against them as prospects, considering that they all posted above average SRVC scores in prior sections. You can only scout a player based on what they were asked to do in college. All three have the athleticism to carve out high-value roles on just those limited routes in the NFL, while Mitchell and Coleman are already ahead of the game from a timing perspective. 

...

Given that Keyarris Garrett also has that massive frame, it was perplexing to see him so regularly go down on first contact. Garrett was out “in space” on 15.8 percent of his routes, the second highest rate in the class, but was brought down on first contact on 69 percent of those attempts. Garrett has the athletic traits and size to be a real threat after the catch, but his NFL team will have to help him develop those into tangible skills.
