Everyone is in Eugene now, with the only exception being maybe Vaughn due to his JC's term schedule.

I would even go so far as to say that out of all the incoming WR's he not only has the best chance of earning some significant playing time but if he can pick up the offense quickly and show that he can block I would not be surprised to see him earn a starting spot (At the very latest) by the time we play our first conference game against Arizona.
If we stay relatively healthy on the offensive side of the ball I think that we will also see Deanthony Thomas and either Blackmon, Kelley or Sumler get some playing time as well.
Out of those 3 I think that Blackmon has the better chance of getting on the field but if Kelley was able to get here sooner than August I would say that he had the better chance of earning some quality PT. One thing people fail to remember is that Blackmon played more QB in HS than WR, whereas BJ Kelley played WR exclusively. Both of them have great speed and good size but Kelley has a little bit better technique than Blackmon. Devon on the other hand has a head start because not only is he in Eugene working out with D. Thomas/Bennett/Other Wr's, but he is also learning the playbook and getting valuable reps practicing those plays.
As for Sumler I think that he is a definite RS because he is so small and will no doubt have a hard time blocking out on the edge. Once he gets a bit stronger/bigger he will be a weapon because of his amazing speed.
Can you guys imagine how good our Wr's are going to be 1-2 years from now? They are going to be ridiculously good.

Cuz i saw a few tweets by him that said "I FEEL IT CORNER OR SAFETY BRO" and then he said "YEA AND SOME SLOT" (i guess he likes his caps...lol. But I thought he was talkin about someone else, until he got to that last part. We'll see though.

Well I really hope he does get a few different looks. Anyone know how dead set he is on RB/TZR? I root for players to make it to the NFL, and I'm not sure he will have the size to do that as a RB...but ya never know...

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We said the same thing when we had Tyrece Gaines and Diante Jackson and we saw how that worked out.
