We don't need a WR til later in the draft. You don't use the #7 pick on a WR when it's not a need. We used the #10 on Crabtree already. CB, OLB, QB......not workout warriors.
I don't know how anybody can say that wide receiver isn't a need. Crabtree regressed in his second year. Now is it way too early to pass complete judgement? Yes, but it's clear he wasn't the player this season we all expected. Josh Morgan seems to disappear in long stretches. Ted Ginn offered little to nothing in the passing game and after those guys there really isn't much to brag about. This league is transitioning into a passing league and now it's pretty essential to have two solid starting wide receivers, rather than just one and a handful of role players. If AJ Green is sitting on the board when we pick, unless somebody like Patrick Peterson is sitting there, we would be stupid not to take a player with his abilities.
You're right. WR is a need on this team for all the reasons you cite. The trouble is; it is not as great as a pass rusher or CB, although if the 49ers could get the pass rusher they need, it would automatically upgrade the entire secondary. In this case, between Peterson, Miller, Quinn and Green, the 49ers could just go BPA and improve the team a great deal.
Still, a pass rushing OLB is the #1 need.
cb... not olb i know they both ex eachother out. but our pass rush was better than our sec. period. im not gonna go get rankings but its a fact.
