Michigan State football has completed the spring practice schedule and are now moving their focus to summer conditioning before the start of fall camp. With the first spring of the Pat Fitzgerald era in East Lansing coming to an end, the coaching staff should have a ton of clarity on where things stand with their depth chart heading into the fall.

For the Spartans, it is interesting to look at this new roster, and how the pieces may fall before the season opener against Toledo. Spartans Wire is going to attempt to piece the depth chart together, analyzing how we think the new roster will unfold in a depth chart manner.

First, the quarterback position then the running back position, and now it is time for the wide receiver spot.

1st string: Chrishon McCray (Rs Sr), Fred Moore (Rs Jr), KK Smith (Rs Jr)
2nd string: Rodney Bullard (Rs Sr), Braylon Collier (Rs Fr), Charles Taplin (Rs Fr) OR Jameel Gardner (Rs Sr)

Michigan State lost a ton of production at the position this offseason, but the amount of production they retained and added will go under the radar. McCray is in line for a breakout year, while adding Moore, Smith and Gardner as veteran depth, and up and comers like Collier and Taplin, the room has a ton of potential.

There will be an open competition for reps between the second and fifth wide receiver spot, and it is really anyone's chance to gain meaningful snaps.
