Rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston was expected to be the third receiver alongside Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but Palmer appears to have an inside edge on that job with just two weeks left in the offseason. Johnston has reportedly struggled with drops throughout camp and the preseason and has a 6-47-1 line through two games. It’s possible Palmer works ahead of Johnston early in the season, but we’d expect the rookie first-rounder to eventually surpass him on the depth chart.
The big problem is Quentin Johnson is too similar to Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, big bodied receivers who are good on intermediate routes and winning 50/50 balls.
Bolts needed a field stretcher like Jalin Hyatt
