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

Dude Philly isn't going anywhere, and he got better in the playoffs.

I was thinking the same thing, him and cash will be gone if we try to put them there. Sure you want them to do good in pre season but that also guarantees  other teams will scoop them up.

I hope he does well to earn a roster spot then. If he shows enough potential he should make the roster.

Going to be real interesting to see how the wide receiver battle goes.  Funchess & KB are safe, obviously, but what about the final three spots, assuming we have five on the roster?  Brown is solid, people give him a lot of crap, but they need to remember that he's only been in the league two years and was an undrafted free agent.  Ginn is solid, too, but is aging and has a lot of drops.  Like I said about Garrett, he won't last on the practice squad. Have to keep him unless he completely bombs in TC and in the pre-season, which I don't see happening.  We gave up a 7th rounder for Norwood, so I don't think we were to give him up just yet, but is he safe on the PS?  Byrd still had potential and Bersin, well, he's done in my opinion.

Competition wise, I don't get why he chose the panthers, given that both KB and Funch is already here. He got much of the same skill set, and would propably stand out more during TC at another team. That being said, stoked he's here!

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.

 

I vote KB as Official Huddle Analyst and Statistician!

Exactly. Dude had an 86 yard TD in thevery NFC Championship and beat Talib for what would have been a TD in the SB if not for that dirty face mask. 

The first 4 WR spots are set with KB, Funchess, Ginn, and Philly. Everybody else competing for the 5th spot and/or PS.
