Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday

Who are your favorites to make the roster? Please explain why you like them from what you've seen. I don't know as much as ya'll so explain their pros and cons to get a clearer view.

Michaels Thomas-yes
Emmanuel Sanders-Yes
Tra'Quan Smith-Yes
Austin Carr- Yes
Juwan Johnson-Yes He looks like he's got the makings from what I've seen and heard
Krishawn Hogan-It's a good possibility depending on his growth
Lil' Jordan Humphry- Maybe If he takes the next step.
Marquez Callaway-Yes I am more familiar with him and he seems to have the athletic build, fights for the ball, and I liked his interviews.
Maurice Harris-Doubtful
Deonte Harris-Possibly playing WR too
Tommy Lee Lewis-Doubtful
Tim White- Doubtful

I think we went from 11-12 receivers when Carr signed on. This list doesn't include pass catchers out of the back field or tight ends. I picked 6 receivers even though we've gone with five before but I believe that we had better proven depth then.

I imagine that several practice squad players are cut and we keep a keen eye on the other teams roster cuts. We do fairly well at grabbing players off the waiver wire or cherry picking their Practice squads just before the end of the season and putting them on the final 53.

MT. Everyone is is expendable. Besides, Kamara is our #2 anyway so what are we talking about? The #3. Emanual then but don't expect much from him. Dude is like Waterford crystal at this point. Looks nice but extremely fragile and will break if you look at it funny.

MT, ES, Kamara, then all else is a guess. Would love to see Lil'Jordan come through. Lost faith in Austin Carr with his fragility. Maybe another FA Wr comes through.

He played in all 17 regular season games last season and started 16 of them ... all seven for Denver and nine of ten for the Niners. That's more regular season games played than any other player in the entire NFL. Plus he started THREE postseason games. That's 20 games played last season. He didn't break a single time.

Beast, according to Pro Football Reference, Sanders has missed a total of nine (9) games since regular play of 2012; now, of those nine, he missed four games apiece in 2018, 2017 seasons...

In 2017, he had a severe sprain in the mid-to-late part of the season, but he'd played 12 games...

In 2018, he'd played 12 games also before having an achilles tear in practice...

Although it's only one season, AG is correct, he played in 20 gms, no bye week due to trade, and through the SuperBowl...

Again, the way Payton devalues draft picks, have to wonder what Denver asked to for in compensation as he was the proverbial four-pt-swing late in the season in Saints vs 49ers fight for the NFC...

Did he mean to include TEs? If so, yes Jared and the new kid.

He didn't get injured last year but he hardly did anything. Think he had about 66 receptions RS. The schemes protected him. The previous two season he was injured frequently. Confident he will get beat out and put way down the depth chart.
