I don’t think nfl teams, or in this case schools ,are open minded enough when it comes to where to play different receivers . They act like a slot guy has to be a short quick receiver. I say frick that.
Give me our best three which is obviously smith, boutte ,and bt jr . If they won’t do that and they just want the slot guy to be a traditional slot guy ,then I would have a hard time deciding between Palmer. lee, kirklin ,(when healthy) and Moore, to be the staryer

Some of it probably comes down to what position(s) they have played during practice/camp.

If none of the guys being listed as “must start” receivers have significant practice reps at Y, then they probably aren’t all going to be in the field at the same time. The coaches can start giving them reps at Y this week but you’re still talking about true freshmen so I don’t know if that’s necessarily the best move.

Regarding BTJ - I see a lot of folks saying he’s clearly one of our best 4. Didn’t he have some critical drops in the first two games as well, though?

To me, Boutte, Bech, and Smith have clearly set themselves apart. I don’t think there’s nearly as much separation (as of right now based on actual game performance) between the rest.
