Blackmon doesn't count for a spot until he returns.

TC WR roster could look like

Watkins, Shorts, Sanders, Brown, Doss, Ebert, Taylor, Williams and some other camp bodies

 

If Blackmon is not reinstated for week one (I think he'll be given an additional 8 game suspension to start season)

Watkins, Shorts, Sanders, Doss, Ebert, Brown are the 6 we keep.

When/if Blackmon returns Brown and Ebert will be the ones fighting to stay on the roster.

Blackmon, Watkins, Shorts, Sanders, Doss looks pretty solid to me.

 

Now, say we don't draft Watkins. Then I assume we draft a couple WRs later in the draft, round 3 and round 4.

Martavis Bryant and Mike Davis maybe.

if Blackmon doesn't return at all we're looking at Shorts, Sanders, Doss, Brown, Bryant and Davis.

 

Shorts may or may not be here after this season, FA to be and his injury history isn't great.

 

I think we need to hope Blackmon comes back. Because as "deep" as this WR class is. I don't see many superstars other than Watkins, Evans, and Lee. And those guys will be gone before round 1 is over.
