But they were both productive players. I think we are going to get at least one true burner on offense. It's the achilles heel of our nemesis and someone with some elite speed can take advantage of Kaep's big arm. I like the Archer pick or anyone with a similar skillset honestly. People often talk about what a great addition Boldin has been to our team and he has, but the true MVP is Vernon Davis (the speed guy). We are 0-3 when he misses significant time in a game. Getting another deep threat that would make it difficult on defenses would only help us more.
Yes, this offense definitely needs an infusion of speed. A guy like Archer would an an additional dimension to this offense.
Our punt/kick returner needs an infusion of speed also...
