disappointed in Streeter declaring this year, he's not ready, could've been a top 5 WR this season, he must really be in need of money
Ya i was surprised he came out.

Jeff Fuller has been inconsistent this year, Ryan Swope has actually overtaken Fuller as the #1 receiver. With that said, I'd still take Fuller.

this guy is not in the top 5 but he is 6'5" and supposedly has quick reaction time and runs a 4.5 40: Nelson rosario, The dude has made some crazy grabs this year if we can get him real late why not? you cant coach 6'5" im sure he is as fast at the age of 21 or 22 as plaxico is at the age of 30

Alright..
here's an obscure name to watch for this upcoming draft, Montana State's Elvis Akpla, he's a bit small physically 6'1" 185, but in this game right now against SH.St he's showing some really really good route running, really really good football smarts, and just made one of the most incredible catches literally ever.. jumping up, catching the ball behind the back of the defensive back, and then securing it David Tyree syle with only one hand on the ball and using his head going to the ground and never allowing the ball to touch the ground or come loose in the process. This could just be too small a sample size to really judge, but jeeze, watch out.

crabtree morgan are our decent sized possessionWRs
then we have ginn and kyle williams as our shifty speedy WR (in other words fast but slightly undersized)
the only thing we lack is a big red zone possession WR braylon is that guy but he has beeen injured throughout the season and been a bit of a disspointment
but thats the type of WR we should be looking at this years draft (if we dont resign braylon )

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Jeff Fuller's dad played for our 49ers. If anything, I'd root extra hard for this kid to be successful if he was in a 49er uniform considering what happened to his dad in a Niners uniform. (If you don't know, google it).
