Let's assume Miami keeps 6 wrs and that Hill, Waddle, Wilson and Ezukanma are roster locks.

Here's the field for the 2022 Dolphin (wr) Derby:

1 - Preston Williams
2 - Lynn Bowden
3 - Trent Sherfield
4 - River Cracraft
5 - Jaylen Sanders
6 - Tanner Conner
7- Devonte Dedmon
8- Cody Core


Who are your favorites to finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the race and who are your two longest shots to make the 53 man roster. My pick for the two longest shots to make the roster would be Core and Dedmon. However, Core has been in NFL camps and knows what he's doing and Conner is raw and might seem way over his head early. I have Williams and Bowden as early favorites for the two roster spots, but I think Sanders could be a serious threat if he get off to a fast start in camp. Overall I would call it a weak field. If Mack Hollins and Isiah Ford were in the race they would be the early favorites.

I presume you mean 6 on the 53. I'm not convinced Ezu is one. Won't be shocked if he's PS.

My bet, 3-1-2.

First cuts Core and Cracraft.

The thing about Cracraft is it seems like every year in camp and preseason his coaches are praising him and talking about how good he looks. In a weak field he might be able to flash a few times here and there. He's a lot like Brian Hartline... faster than he looks and decent size.

Of that group Sherfield is likely the #5 WR and Williams #6.

Bowden is a slot WR and the Dolphins are loaded at the slot position. A couple of the remaining WR’s will likely be added to the practice squad . As far as Ford is concerned. He is a free agent which no team seems to have any interest in signing. He has had plenty of opportunities with the Dolphins over the years and just isn’t good enough.
 
I think Sherfield is a lock due to ST alone. Bowden next up.

Dedmond could be a good practice squad stash for his return abilities

I pitched him due to age (28 in November) and the fact that McDaniels has cut this guy before. Seems like the guy you sign to come in and fill out the preseason roster but then cut early to give him an opportunity to catch on with someone else... then when he doesn't, you consider making him a practice dummy.
 
I think Conner and Sanders will be the two WRs on the practice squad... most of the other players on our roster are really too old to ever think they'll improve enough to matter.
 
Bowden and Sherfield

Preston "Stonehands" Williams is finally cut
 
I think it will be Preston Williams and Trent Sherfield with those final 2 spots. TS for Special Teams and PW for the potential he has shown where he has also previously played big minutes for the Fins.

Many like Bowden a lot, and I just do not think he will come back and win a spot after being out all year.

Hopefully none get hurt and this turns out to being a real competition.
 
I got Bowden as first due to his utility, he’s pretty similar to Deebo.
