Wims is not a lock to make the team.  But its tough to envision a roster without him on it.  Right now I'd have him penciled in for that 4th WR spot that was assigned to Bellamy last year.

As for the roster, there's some flexibility with the offensive skill positions:  WR, TE, HB, and FB.  Having only 2 QBs also helps.

i think the Bears will keep 7 wideouts unless the rookie Whyte beats out Cordarrelle Patterson for the KR job.  If not Whyte can be placed on the practice squad or come up with a season ending injury and stashed on IR.

The last WR spot could probably go to one of the Halls.  Marvin Hall has 2 years of experience and 12 career receptions.  The undrafted rookie Emmanuel Hall was passed over by every team in 7 rounds.  So let's not overvalue these 2 guys.

And of course there's injuries so its good to have an abundance of talent.

I think Wims is big time talent. No way he doesn't make it.

Training camp will determine all the variables and how they turn out, including injuries. At least we have options.

Are you suggesting that our opinions aren't factored into the personnel decisions?

I know many Bear fans are excited about Montgomery and Ridley, in fact many draft graders are giving the Bears high marks for those 2 choices.  But I'm just as excited about seeing what the 2 speedy guys drafted in the 7th round can do.  I could see both of these guys making the final roster as special teamers.

Well Duh! Since when do the fans have a say so on personnel decisions? Good grief!

That's funny - at the end of day one - he had all the kickers line up and attempt a field goals from FORTY THREE yards out. he wanted to see which ones could handle the pressure. Only 2 out 8 make it.

Blewitt  Blew it.

That's genius on Nagy's part.

I'm starting to think that the reason the Bears are not signing Matt Bryant is because they are waiting on what SF will do while going through the motion with this ridiculous clown show.

I am unsure about this Wims talk but:

https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2019/05/04/which-bears-players-were-winners-and-losers-following-the-2019-nfl-draft/

I believe Wims will have to show a lot of improvement to make the roster and the Bears will likely have to keep 7 WRs on the 53 man roster.

7 WRs is do-able.  7 WRs and 4 HBs is a bit tougher.   And keeping 4 TEs on top of that may mean only keep 8 offensive lineman.  Figured 25 guys on offense and defense and 3 STers.

A good problem to have, plus you have some flexibility for injuries (real or otherwise).

Doesn't look like the Bears found any kicker to be better than the rest yet in mini camp.

Cole Tracy LSu was top rated by many analysts and got out of Green Bay unsigned.

Will the Bears try him out?

The opening day 53-man roster last year broke down like this:

QB - 2
RB - 4
WR - 6
TE - 5
OL - 8
DL - 5
LB - 10
DB - 10
Specialists - 3
