Why not 7 WR's on the opening day roster?

Not sure Bryant or Wallace were necessarily kept because they liked them more so than there was no one else at the position that didn’t suck. They would have sent them packing if they have a real nfl caliber player to keep instead.

They won't have a real NFL caliber player at the bottom of the roster this year either.

It will be some Hudson, Rupcich, Westover who would replace the developmental roster player.

No, I don’t think they’ll ruin him, because I don’t think they’ll take your advice. That’s what would ruin him.

Hopefully he will improve. When he does it might be worth taking a look at him at backup guard, depending on how that needs to be stands by then. But for now let him focus on one thing, his traditional position.

On game day they'll activate the best players they have, I suspect Lomu will be one of them.

The 3 WRs in the base offense are Brown, Doubs, Boutte.

That's not even happening in camp right now based on real time tweets.

It's Brown, Doubs and Douglas.

Boutte is the next man up on the outside when Brown or Doubs goes out.

Boutte already skipped offseason workouts and supposedly said he wanted to be traded. That wasn't my imagination.

It's what's happening now that matters. There is no problem. Many players sit voluntary workouts, and it never amounts to anything.

They'll get what they can get before the cutdown to 53. Assuming the WR is as deep as it seems now then they won't wait for the season. The entire point is to get down to 53 with the best group possible.

As deep as the WR group is, we still can not count on Williams/Chism as regular NFL receivers. We can recognize potential, but they've proven nothing.

I want 5 proven options.

Not that it comes down to those players but they are players with NFL experience

He wants a contract and the opportunity to play. You Boutte truthers seem to ignore this.

It's year two, both were part of the WR room last year. Williams showed he was a big play waiting to happen, Chism has done nothing but catch every ball thrown his way and do what the team asked of him.

I want 5 proven options.

Younger, better, cheaper players need opportunities to prove they've reliable.

All this hemming and hawing is fine, but the reality is barring injury they probably have too many good WR's.

Boutte wants a new contract, feelings aren't important.

With Hollins as #4 and Williams as a developmental WR who is OK as our #5 WR (even if he almost never plays).
===============================
I see no reason to use a roster spot on a 6th WR, unless the staff really want a 2nd developmental WR because Williams has shown almost nothing yet (which is OK since WR's often take a 2nd year to develop working for Josh).

If the team keeps 6 then it's probably Williams. The 6th WR is a development guy anyway.
