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.

Yeah, the only reason I think Garrett is for big WR insurance.

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.

- KB

- Funchess

- Shepard

- Samuel

- Byrd

We go with 5 WR's this year. McCaffrey is basically another WR so he will serve as our 6th wideout.

We're gonna keep Austin Duke and Fred Ross on our practice squad.

If it was up to me, Funchess would have been gone not yesterday, but the day before lol.  But, they'll give him a roster spot based off unrealized potential that I doubt he ever reaches...  So, with that out of the way:

KB

Funch

Shepard

Samuel

Byrd

And I think Clay likely deserves the last spot over anyone else, and Duke has looked impressive and deserves consideration, but Bersin will be given the spot based off of familiarity.

[KillerKat]

kb, funch, sam, byrd, bb, clay

Clay has to make it if we want the best field position after punt returns also without worrying about botched catches.
