We got 11 bodies so far on the roster, I'd say the competition is wide open after the first two spots on the depth chart.
Colston, Marques WR 6-4 225
Fayson, Jarred WR 6-0 213
Givens, Chris WR 6-2 203
Hakim, Saalim WR 5-11 188
Moore, Lance WR 5-9 190
Morgan, Joseph WR 6-1 184
Parker, Preston WR 6-0
Roby, Courtney WR 6-0 189
Tanner, Andy WR 6-0 183
Toon, Nick WR 6-4 218
Stills, Kenny WR 6-0 190
Colston, Marques WR 6-4 225
Fayson, Jarred WR 6-0 213
Givens, Chris WR 6-2 203
Hakim, Saalim WR 5-11 188
Moore, Lance WR 5-9 190
Morgan, Joseph WR 6-1 184
Parker, Preston WR 6-0
Roby, Courtney WR 6-0 189

Unless there's a camp break-out, it'll play out as such

Morgan came on strong last year. He had a bit of the drops early, but seemed to clear that up and made some pretty impressive catches. (TB anyone?)
I expect to see him starting.
Roby will most likely live out his days on special teams.
Anxious to see what Toon can do, and who knows maybe Kenny Stills will be this years preseason darling a-la Travaris Cadet.

I'm expecting big things out of Nick Toon. Between him, Colston, and Graham, the Saints should be winning in a jump ball situation most of the time.

Ideal to me is-
Toon turns out to be the real deal as a big bodied WR like Colston. Colston will be 30 this year. His cap hit in 2014 escalates from $4.5mil to $8.3mil and $9.7mil in 2015. Toon is under $800K through 2015. He could make Colston expendable. Blasphemy to some I know. Prudent cap management to others (see Anquan Boldin).
Morgan turns out to be as good or better deep speed threat than Devery was. Are his 10 catches at 38yds per catch and 3 TDs indicative of what he can do in a larger role or just a fluke? We'll find out. Fayson & Hakim could give Morgan serious competition for this role.
Kenny Stills turns out to be a solid all around WR.
Lance Moore also turns 30 this year. His contract almost doubles this year to $4.6mil. He's as productive as ever. If age or injuries catch up to him a younger, cheaper, and more skilled option could be on the radar for 2014 or 2015.

In 3-WR sets, I see the gameday depth chart like this:
WR1: Colston, Givens, Toon, Fayson, Hakim
Slot: Moore, Stills, Tanner
WR2: Morgan, Stills, Roby, Parker (waived)
BOLD: active on gameday
italics: inactive on gameday
Underlined: PS or waived

Besides Colston, rookie WRs haven't done a lot for the Saints. (Not even 1st rounders)
That being said, I may be most excited about picking Kenny Stills at WR. Had family members in the NFL and after reading about him, it looks like he knows how to be a professional. Also, if you watch his film, he is fast, has great body control, makes tough catches and makes NFL catches (back shoulder/two feet instead of one foot). I really think he will be a great WR for us over the next few years.

I've said it before.
everyone needs to brace themselves for the Toon let down.
I just don't see him active on sundays. He was garbage in camp last year before injuries.

With all these unproven players i would like to see them sign a vet like Deion Branch.

I love Moore, but he's always good for missing a few games over some bs injury. We have a group of hungry young ones thats gonna push for playing time.

I think the number will be 5 or 6 and Colston and Moore can't be cut do to there contracts(wouldn't be cut anyway but just in case someone tries to question where they stand).
5 or 6 will depend a lot on how many we keep elsewhere also: S(4 or 5), LB(8 or 9), TE(2 or 3), and DE(4 or 5). It also just occured to me with Vaccaro's versatility they could go 4 CBs and 5 Ss, but we could keep 5 of each still.
Barring a preseason superstar, I see it as follows:
Big Target: Colston and Toon
Speedster: Morgan and Stills
Slot: Moore and Stills
That's 5 and if we keep a 6 that will be Roby for special teams. It's also possible Stills makes an impact on special teams and makes Roby expendable, which then makes keeping 5 more likely, though we could take a flyer on a youngster if he shows enough.
