In this thread give me which wide receivers make the 53 man roster. 

This will be bumped to see who really knows the dealio.

 

Extra Credit: Who is on the practice squad?

[Saca312]

WR1 Kelvin Benjamin

WR2/3 Devin Funchess

WR2/3 Russell Shepard

WR3/4 with WR2 Upside: Curtis Samuel

WR5 Damiere Byrd

 

PS: WR Austin Duke, Clay

My only change would be Clay to PS.

I don't know if Byrd ultimately gets it but he is ever so slightly in front of Bersin right now IMO. Will see how they make out over the next two preseason games

Good with that, though I think it's at least possible Clay makes the regular roster over Byrd (not willing to say it's likely)

Will depend on what they show in upcoming games.

Duke and Garret on the PS.

Second this. I don't think we keep more than 5 WR's since Webb is the defacto 6th WR.

Plus, it gives us the ability to keep 5 RB's (Stew, CMC, CAP, Fozzy, & Darrel Young as FB).  Hopefully we can sneak Armah on the practice squad.  I like his potential a lot.

seem the very obvious top 5 at this point.

Bersin doesn't have PS eligibility as far as I know, so he COULD be #6, IF we keep 6, or perhaps he gets cut and we keep him on speed dial in case of injuries (I doubt he gets picked up by another team... his value is primarily in his knowledge of our offense and his rapport with Cam.  Don't think he'd be such a desireable pick up for other teams)  With Samuel seemingly on the mend, I'm beginning to think we only keep 5 WRs, however.

Clay is also intriguing for speed / returns.   I think he has a strong case for the PS.

Austin Duke is also possibly a PS candidate.  His being a local feel-good story from the Charlotte 49ers may help his case.

I think Duke & Clay have more upside that Garrett.  I was excited when we got him last year, but I haven't seen enough to warrant even PS unless they want to keep a big receiver if KB or Funchess goes down.

Wondered what brave soul would be the first to suggest Bersin.
