I've been reading a lot of good things about just about all of our receivers. This looks like its gonna be a hell of a camp to make the roster...who do you guys think makes it?

ARob, Miller, TGab, Riley and Patterson are all locks. so that leaves 2. I think wims and Hall are probably the last 2, but the team has always liked Mizzel even though everyone else doesnt they could ir hall and keep Mizzel for one last shot.

I'm gonna assume no new/major injuries and no surprise trades here.
Robinson, Gabriel, Miller, Patterson, and Riley are all obvious roster locks for 2019.
I'm gonna go out a limb here and say that Wims is a pretty damn close to a roster lock too. The team protected him with a roster spot all last year even though he was a 7th round rookie who was a healthy scratch most of the season. That tells me they liked him enough to not want to risk him clearing waivers. He's been having a great camp so far this year by all accounts and is locked up on a very cheap contract for 3 more years. All this tells me a roster spot is his to lose.
There's only 2 others who have a plausible shot at making the final-53: Marvin Hall and Emmanuel Hall.
Marvin is basically a poor-man's version of Cordarelle Patterson--a speedy but otherwise not that great receiver who makes his money in the NFL on STs. Although he apparently is having a good camp so far as well, I find it hard to believe the Bears would cut Wims, a draft pick, for him, a journeyman FA who's now on his 4th team in 3 years. If they keep 7 WRs, Marvin is in; if they keep 6 I'm guessing he's out.
Emmanuel Hall is a guy I think the team is gonna try to sneak onto the PS for next season's camp.
I really don't see Mizzell making the team this year. I think Wims is a roster lock and that EHall will need to be IR'ed to be available to us next year.
I don't see anything on twitter or the internet in general about Wims being injured or anything like that.
I read somewhere that he ended one practice earlier and was lipming, but im sure its old news
maybe but he wad at family fest lighting it up. depth at the position is crazy.
btw and off subject. apparently one of the negatives on Miller, dating back to this year and still this year is his undisciplined route running. stuff like running the route wrong maked him look open, but it wasnt going to be where Trubs was expecitng him so it wluld have looked like a bad throw, and its created some issues of trust and chemistry. that kind of thing works after you and the qb have worked together for a few years but its nothing they should be doimg now.

Yes, it is. Which is why guys like Mizell and Gentry not only have no chance to make the team, they may not even be PS candidates anymore.
BTW, barring major injury Wims has pretty much locked up a roster spot IMO. He continues to make plays.
