If our first round pick is not active, Rivera should be fired the next day.

That’s a weird way to spell Hurney.

He's the second most expensive WR on our entire roster, of course he'll be active.

Right now I'd say Wright and Byrd are in the most danger of either being cut or being regularly inactive. Especially if we keep Barner as a KR.

None is being cut, not with how Rivera mentioned Samuel, Moore and Byrd in post game interview

Reminder not all WRs are like 2014’s class and instant Elites. DJ Moore is more a raw guy with potential than a sure day one starting star.

Reason DJ Moore is low in productivity is the coaching staff forcing him into an outside role when his technique doesn’t warrant that yet.

He’d be fantastic from the slot and in space, but he’s not an outside guy yet. His press technique is lazy; his release is poor and that allows DBs to jam him early. Only way he wins is by beating the DB at the top of his route (he’s real good at that) but otherwise he’s a tough window to throw in and will have a DB draped on him until he fixes technique.

This plus its just preseason

On the positive side of things: When the big topic of discussion is if we should cut a WR that was the WR3 on the Super Bowl winning squad, I think it's safe to say we're finally in an okay spot on the receiving front.

Also, the WRs are set.

Funchess-Wright-Smith-Moore-Samuel (Maybe: Byrd)

We go 5 or 6.  

I'd personally like to see Wright as the Z, Funchess as the X and Samuel as the Slot.  Moore gets sprinkled in slowly but surely.  Smith is a beneficial commodity but I just don't know if things fit for him right now and it's a really cuttable contract.

Of course

DJ Moore has been kept under wraps. He will be playing week one. This isn't Shula ball.

Why would this be a question?

Funchess, Wright and Samuel should absolutely be active.

That leaves one spot you can fill with Moore, Torrey Smith...maybe Damiere Byrd but I'd call that a long shot (granted he has special teams value).

We regularly had 5 active WR last season when healthy.

Oh he better be!

Lol couch analysts, dj is a home run threat we need the ball in his hands in space as much as possible, that's the type of player he is.  More dynamic and valuable than Torrey Smith.

All question will be answered in the last pre season game.. If he is a big part of the plans in the regular season he won't play much if any in this last game...

He will get time in week 1.  At this point they are evaluating the other guys to finalise the roster.   I expect Moore to get a lot of playing time in final preseason game as well.

If Ron is the same ole Ron.. He will always be over cautious and play him as little as possible if any.. That's if Ron feels he is a major part of the game plan early this season..
