I would be more surprised if Morgan gets cut than Meachem.

Not sure I agree. When I think of Morgan, I think of speed. But when I look at the 40 times for our receivers who are, realistically, fighting for a roster spot or will make the team, here's what we have.

Joseph Morgan: 6'0 4/12, 4.38 40 time (Pro Day)

Nick Toon: 6'1 7/12, 4.43 40 time (Pro Day)
Nick Toon*|*Wisconsin,*WR*:*2012 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Kenny Stills: 6'0 4/12, 4.32 40 time (Combine)

Meachem had a 4.39 combine time, but he's slower now, of course. But Meachem has also been our best blocking WR for some time, plus he has a good working relationship with Brees and knows how to get open and knows his role.

So we have two more speedsters in Cooks and Stills, both able to do what Morgan is primarily known for and both faster. Toon was 0.05 seconds slower in his 40 time than Morgan plus is younger. And, so far, he's had a very good OTA (but we'll see when the pads go on how he performs).

For me, with players who are faster, or nearly the same as Morgan, he seems like the odd man out. With a taller receiver in both Toon and Meachem, and you can't teach height, I think Morgan could be on the outside looking in if he doesn't blow people away in TC

On a side note, I love Morgan and really see some tough cuts coming this season

I wouldn't.
