Will Flores have the balls

I’d rather put Parker on the bench.
I'd run the Oopty Oop and keep them all on the field.
Fuller won’t sit at all.

If we draft Waddle and everyone is healthy at the trade deadline, don't be surprised if Fuller is traded. Waddle is a Fuller protégé, initially, and then I think Waddle could eventually be the most true Alpha Dog around, moving into his 2nd, 3rd and future years.
However, that 'KR/PR' crap has to stop. It's idiocy to risk any high-round WR pick in the return game when the opportunities to even return the kick are few and far between and 90% less likely to affect a game's outcome than a play from scrimmage.
We have other guys around to field kicks and punts. No F'n way am I risking a Waddle on Punt coverage!

If Flores has proven anything in his 2 years, he the balls to bench, trade, cut, or fire everyone short of himself.

Flores typically has certain roles for certain players/positions. I don’t expect that to change. There is only a few players on the team that are true starters who play majority of reps. I would expect them to rotate the top 3-4 WRs. Not to mention the fact Fuller, Parker and Preston Williams have all had injury issues it’s a matter of time before one of them gets hurt and opens up more snaps
I expect the rookie and Fuller to eventually be the starting WR’s with Parker as their backup and getting a lot of playing time when they go to a 4 WR formation. I think if he is healthy, Wilson will end up being the slot receiver.

Unless we draft Pitts/Chase/Waddle/Smith AND a slot WR, later!

That's not having balls. That's being gutless. You don't pull a rookie like that. You let him take his lumps.

To state the obvious, camp will tell a lot. *IF* it comes down to Fuller or rookie (I doubt it) and the rookie has a solid game, I suspect Flo goes HC on us and starts Fuller game2. It's VERY hard to 'barely' beat out a vet. If the rook beats out anyone, there will be a few in rotation he will replace. Now, once it gets to game 8, . . .

Agree.
My 1st thought on the question posed in the thread title was to reply, "It all depends on the equipment manager"
Good thing I didn't
They also have Bowden who played well at the end of last season. So Wilson and Bowden would appear to be able to fill the slot position and if they do draft a WR or Pitts at 6, I just don’t think they will draft another WR.
With Fuller, Parker, the draft pick, Bowden, Williams and Wilson, along with Gesicki. That would be a drastic upgrade over what they had last year.
I think they have too many other needs on the team to draft another WR in this draft if they do take a receiver at 6. If they end up drafting Pitts, I think he would be used more as a WR than a conventional TE and he and Gesicki would be on the field together much of the time.
