2014 wide receiver depth chart

Like running back, there are going to be a lot of talented players here and only one football.
The incumbents:
Amari Cooper
Deandrew White
Christion Jones
The barely played group:
Chris Black
Raheem Falkins
The RS freshmen
Ardarius Stewart
Robert Foster
The true freshmen:
Derek Kief
Cameron Sims
Bo Scarbrough (position unknown)
How do y'all see these snaps playing out? As good as the bottom groups are I don't see jones or white losing snaps. Out of the 9 or 10 WR on the roster they were all 4 or 5 star players. How do we keep all that talent happy?
My hope is that Black and Foster see significant minutes, because we will need them in 2015 and they are most likely to transfer with discontent. I think at the moment they're our 4th and 5th best receivers, but in 2015 they'll be 1 and 2.
How do y'all see the reps playing out in this group next year?

Amari/White
Jones in the Slot
"Next men up" outside would be Falkins and Foster
For the Slot that'd be Chris Black
I think we see the top three play more though. Rotating five guys this past season could have been a problem. It's good to have options, but rotating them as often as we did prevented them from getting into a rhythm.

Were they still thinking of moving Stewart to DB?

It may be a possibility if we don't land Marlon.

I think we may see Black supplant White or Jones, he is THAT explosive.

Possibly Jones in the Slot, who averaged less than 10 yards a catch, but I doubt he takes an outside spot over White.
I'm telling you guys, if White played for a team like LSU this past year (supposing ODB or Landry wasn't there) he'd be a 1k WR. Crazy athlete.

I don't see any possible way, Robert Foster and Chris Black don't make an impact next year. Both kids are tooooooooooo talented not to see the field. (And not in mop-up duty)

Definitely, they add explosion to the team. And Falkins is a guy who, like Cooper before 2012 season started, was getting a lot of praise. I'd love to see him and Howard get more Redzone snaps.

I enjoyed watching Blake sims, Chris black and Derek Henry running the read option at times this year. But not all the time and only if we can't find a capable starter.

I would love to see Nuss run a 3x1 single back set in the red zone with Howard or Foster as the fade option. I don't foresee any DB in the SEC who could stop it.

I don't think there is a clear #1 WR for next season. Cooper, Jones, and White have all been inconsistent as frick. Chris Black looks like he could be a huge weapon in the slot but, for whatever reason, he hasn't cracked a starting lineup.
there should be a lot of competition in the offseason. I think there is a starting spot for the receiver that can be the most physical and best blocker of the group.

White has been inconsistent, but I think Coop's problem was the injuries and of course the rumor that he was being whiny about AJ acting like a captain.
Jones...I just don't feel like we've been using him the right way. In 2012 you could argue he was better when he ran him on longer patterns. Throwing short to him isn't the best idea, while he's shifty and has great change of direction, he has trouble picking which direction he wants to go in.
White, at his best, is very good though.

Jones is the best blocker of the group by a good bit, it's clear Saban likes him and he's a good player. I basically agree that the top 3 isn't changing, but I hope to see Foster as a target over the middle and Black as another screen option besides cooper. I hope to see those things a lot next year.

That being said White is super hard to evaluate given his inconsistency. He makes a few wow plays, but he disappears quite often. In the slot, I really hope Chris Black finally gets into the rotation. The kid has looked like a potential difference maker in limited snaps. Jones is physical and a solid player, but I don't think he has the same ability as Black as a pure slot guy.

I think Chris Black's familiarity with Blake Sims, who like it or not is the #1 QB for now, will help him earn more playing time next season

It's not just that, AJ was also very comfortable with him. With a new QB, you could see Chris Black doing a lot more in the slot this year. Really depends on the relationship the QB has with the receivers.

Im excited to see Falkins get some more PT...AJ raved about the kid in practices

Child, please.
I think Cooper, White, and Jones will get the bulk of the work, with some of the other guys spelling them.

People have been salivating over Robert Foster on the scout team.
