This wet dream of yours is not happening

Jordan can still make the team if he keeps looking good in preseason

No offense to Robinson or Christian Kirk, but I want to move forward with the youth.

Same but i think Robinson is almost a lock and by all accounts he has earned it in camp. Kirk on the other hand might find himself on the outside looking in. Same with Cowing who can't stay healthy.

Mike Evans
Deebo
Robinson
Stribling
Watkins (he also got some reps at ST so that only helps his chances)

__PRESENT

Kirk?

We already know Evans, Stribling and Dweebo are locks and it's probably safe to say Robinson over Kirk. If Jordan looks good at practice / preseason, Kirk is either gone or PS. Would Shanny carry 6 on the roster

Injuries happen like a MFr on this team so maybe. Also, what if they only carry 3 RBs and have Dweebo as the 4th / reserve, does that help Kirk's chances. I think Jordan is in because he's also ST (punt/kick returner) and Cowing has no shot over Kirk...

Lost in the De'Zhaun Stribling hype, is Jordan Watkins.

The 2nd year WR had a solid performance in the preseason opener with 59 yards receiving on 6 catches, making a strong case for the 53 man roster 📈

Thought he looked good. Ran sine nice routes. Would love to see him seize that 3/4 WR spot

I think he's a keeper- he's fast, he's got good college record, and I saw his interview he seems to be a good character kid. We need to stack up more with high potential young players. I still have hopes for Cowing, too

Watkins looks solid. Sometimes you gotta go through Kyles signature WR doghouse to get better. Aiyuk did it, but he got crazy.

Would love to see Watkins show this year. We need to get younger at WR.

Won't be WR3; you know Deebo is in the top 3, and I hope it isn't 2.

I'd like it to be:
1. Evans
2. Strib
3. Deebo/Watkins/Robinson; let all three of them split those reps without taking away any from our top 2.

As long as Strib, Deebo drob and Evans are healthy I doubt we see Watkins much.

I feel like he's battling for the last spot against Cowing, and it will come down who is healthy and can return punts better

Deebo better show up this year if he is going to take WR snap
s away from Stribling Robinson, Watkins. Shany has a hard on for Deebo and was and is again, a problem.

Again, Cowing is tiny imo. Not sure how he'll hold up compared to Watkins long term.

Cowing done nothing. He's as good as gone at the cutdown.
