This is a great problem to have but our WR depth is amazing

Who makes the cut?

I got 7 guys but I don't know if that makes much sense. I'm struggling with this one

1) Parker
2) Fuller
3) Waddle
4) Wilson
5) P Williams
6) Mack Hollins
7) Merritt (excellent special teamer)

Grant is a lesser-talented version to Fuller/Waddle/Wilson - He's no longer need - Trade or release
Bowden on the PUP
Perry to Practice Squad
Hurns injury-settlement/released
 
1) Parker
2) Fuller
3) Wilson
4) Waddle
5) Grant

Last spot would be between Williams and Bowden, but I'm of the belief Bowden can make the team listed under another position, such as RB. It's a shame because fringe guys like Mack Hollins absolutely deserve to be on the team but we're so deep right now. Hollins may end up making the team over Williams, actually

Hollins is going to be on the 53.

Who plays special teams? I dont think Grant makes the team. He's a bad receiver, just a gadget guy. and we have a couple of those now
 
1) Parker
2) Fuller
3) Wilson
4) Waddle
5) Hollins
6) Grant

If there's a 7th it would probably go to Bowden, but I'm thinking they might make him the 4th RB. I could see Williams getting the 7th spot if there is one. I have Foster, Perry and Merritt as potential practice squad guys.
 
Bowden either gets traded or makes the 53 (maybe immediate IR after the dust clears) but NO WAY
are they exposing that kid to waivers -- he's GONE if they do that and guaranteed they know that.

Obviously a trade would be ideal -- but if not possible we're going to be forced to expose some legit
NFL talent -- and most likely lose some. No way around it.

Foster, Perry and Merritt all seem to have a future in the league but I'd suppose 2 of the 3 (most likely) will be on another roster.

Beyond that -- the speed + quicks Grant has works well with Tua. He ain't goin' anywhere...
 
To me the last spot is Bowden or Williams. And I think with Willaims coming off PUP means it's him.

Nope. Hollins is definitely on the team. He’s been dealing all camp
 
I think people are defiantly sleeping on Hollins. And blind to the fact Parker could be trade bait and Williams is a cut candidate. And if it weren't for PUP, Bowden's name might be on a cut list.

Hollins has a skillset unequaled in our WR room. His size, hands and ability to get separation at the point of reception gives him a unique niche on this team. I think the light has finally turned on for him in his career. He could start for several teams.

Remember that "who's your surprise cuts this year" thread? PW and LB are dangerously close to the drain in a very loaded WR bowl. Don't get me wrong, LB is a favorite of mine. He has a good all-around skillset. But we have to appreciate the skillsets we have in our VERY DEEP TE and WR rooms.

I think JG and LB are fighting for the same spot even though they have different skillsets. This is a game were you better have a unique skillset when the music stops or you won't have a chair.

JG's value is relieving Waddle of ST's duties, sweeps and screen passes. He is our Waddle backup. He also replaces LB on ST's.

LB is a Flo-type guy. But what does LB do that is unique to all other TE's and WR's?

Hollins sticks. And he's forced Flo and company to cut/trade someone previously assumed to be safe.

I agree 100% in regards to Hollins making the final roster. Also If he is healthy enough, Williams will likely be on the roster against the Patriots because Fuller is out that game because of his suspension.
‘I just don’t see Bowden making this roster and he will likely be poached by another team if the Dolphins release him or put him on the practice squad.

Bowden hasn’t stood out in camp and his injury is continuing to make it hard for the coaching staff to find a spot for him. Perhaps he clears waivers if they cut him and they then bring him back and put him on IR so no team can sign him off the practice squad. That’s about the only way I see him remaining with the team.

The fact the Dolphins have so many options at the WR position is great considering how bad that group was the latter half of last season. Hopefully Parker, Fuller, Wilson, and Williams can avoid the injury bug that has plagued them once the regular season begins.
