In a 6 receiver roster, the bolded are locks:
WR Amendola, Danny
WR Dobson, Aaron
WR Boyce, Josh
ST Slater, Matthew
So 2 of the following:
WR Jenkins, Michael
WR Thompkins, Kenbrell
WR Hawkins, Lavelle
WR Harrison, Mark
WR Jones, Donald
WR Aiken, Kamar
PR Edelman, Julian
If you assume Edelman is healthy (doubtful they're competing for the same spot anyway), you have one of the following:
WR Jenkins, Michael
WR Thompkins, Kenbrell
WR Hawkins, Lavelle
WR Harrison, Mark
WR Jones, Donald
WR Aiken, Kamar
I'd say Jones has a poor chance of making this team - he has to beat Aiken and Jenkins if current reports that they're currently the two first team outside receivers are true. Aiken knows the system better than everyone on that list, but Jenkins has that red zone height.
Jones has to prove some red zone ability and get acquainted with the playbook quick if he wants to have a chance. It might be easier for him if Mark Harrison converts to TE.
What have boyce and dobson done to make them locks? It's not as if rookies haven't become "injured" for a year before when there were veterans more ready. In the sense I use the word "lock", I wouldn't even apply it at all to our WR corps at this point. I think it's wide open, including possible future pickups.
