I'd say David Moore is ass close to a lock as you can get without actually being one, which only leaves 1 WR in this scenario. I'd say Saunders. He plays ST, and is a back up RB. I haven't seen poo out of Bayless and Zylstra in the preseason games, so Kirkwood may actually have a shot if we keep 7.

David Moore is a lock because of his contract.  He's nothing special and I suspect that he'll be the #5 guy once Shi Smith gets his NFL trial by fire games under his belt.  Right now he's got that #4 WR spot over the rookie.  Kirkwood makes no sense to keep, there's zero cap hit and we have younger guys with more potential to groom.  Bayless can be stashed on the PS, nobody is clamoring for his services.

The tough one is Zylstra.  He can return kicks and has a knack for getting open.  USUALLY he has reliable hands, but Friday night he had butter fingers.  He's 50/50 to make the last WR spot and that is if they don't reserve the #6 position for Cannon.

yeah, the lack of ANY reliable camp coverage makes it tough to call. Zylstra looked Ok last year, but IMO has all but disappeared since. I think its a moot point anyway since we very likely only keep 6. Also, I confused Saunders and Cannon. Cannon is the WR/RB/ST guy I meant to say made the team.

FWIW (not much until tomorrow), I just checked and Kirkwood is listed above Bayless and Zylstra on the depth chart.

Saunders goes to the PS.  He got a lot of looks with the backups, but is going to be just a developmental guy.  No need to burn a roster spot on the 53 man squad for that.  It sounds like Rhule is really high on Cannon, but what spot does he take, a RB or WR?  If we don't bring in a FB, he can be the #4 RB, but if we do pick up a FB then we will not carry five (RB/FB).  If that does happen, you would think a WR spot has to be dropped.

I imagine some cuts will come later this afternoon...the easy decisions.  The bubble cuts will be tomorrow.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      Brother you've been WR driven for going on almost two decades now.  No need for us to discuss further.

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.
