With Chase being the only WR drafted the last two years, the low numbers aren't really a huge surprise. Nobody to worry about getting picked off on the way to the practice squad and no reason for more depth than that until guys start to get dinged up.
Given his physical traits, getting Iosivas to the practice squad seems doubtful at best to me. I wouldn't be surprised to see 7, being Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Irwin, Jones, Iosivas & Morgan (maybe Taylor over Morgan, but I think the latter for ST). If Iosivas shows out well at gunner (where Simmons has implied they'll be trying him at in pre-season games), maybe they go 6 with both Morgan and Taylor being odd men out.

As i said in an earlier post, they've gone with 6 all four years of Zac's tenure. They also went with 6 in the three years prior to that. The last time they didn't go with 6 WRs was in 2015 when they started with 5. The last time they started with 7 WRs was ten years ago in 2013.
