New England Patriots training camp is now a week old. Six practices have been completed, giving us plenty to talk about on a daily basis. Before today’s practice begins at 1:45 P.M. ET, we are power ranking the top nine wide receivers on the roster.

Keep in mind that the Patriots will probably take five wideouts onto the final 53-man roster, and stow away one or two guys on the practice squad. So while you’re reading this article, assume that the bottom four receivers face an uphill battle to make the team.

Much is still to be determined—after all, we’re just a handful of practices into the season. However, there have been some developments in the receiving corps that help to shed light on what the final depth chart might look like.

Read on for a power ranking of the Patriots’ wide receivers, starting with an undrafted rookie out of Cal.
