We aren't even talking about WR6. We're talking about a potential WR7.
Morgan and Thomas are guaranteed to make the team for their ST contributions alone.
Taylor is going to make the team since no one unseated him for PR duties.
At least two of them, if not all three, will be active on gamedays for ST.
Would I personally replace Thomas with someone who offers more upside (or any upside) on offense?
Yes.
But I understand that the team wants him for ST.
Sure hope Pryor sticks on the Practice Squad, cause yeah, all of this.
If one of our top 3 go down I am really concerned once again with one of these guys playing. They don't scare anyone
with their speed, crispness of their routes etc.
Morgan is a good blocker, okay he can help the running game and on screens. Taylor is a decent backup Slot and a good
Punt Returner, okay. But Mike Thomas is only a gunner and that is ALL he provides. At least Irwin and Pryor can get open
and catch balls cause they are smart in their routes and have good hands.

He was our top WR in preseason, but who was his competition? All he did was catch more passes than a lot of other "bottom-of-the-roster" WRs. Somebody had to be our #1 preseason WR. That does not mean he was a really good player.
I saw something special with Pryor myself. The way he carried himself, how hard he worked on the field and in practice the
coaches said he practiced extremely hard. Runs really crisp routes and is disciplined in his depth with great hands and has
4.38 speed and it shows, these other bottom of the roster WR's don't offer all of this.
Hope he sticks on the PS is all I can say. Sure I would pick up Tyler Johnson over him but Pryor would definitely have my eye
after if I was another team in need of a speedy young WR.
