DGB has the biggest upside of all three, but the bust potential is huge. I think he slips the furthest of the 3
Strong is the safest pick of all three...next Boldin.
That said I think we will have to move up to have a chance to grab one....not sure baalke does it.
I agree, we will need to move up to get one of the remaining quality WR's. What are your thoughts on Ty Montgomery from Stanford? Could we get him in the 4th or 5th round?

Well I might be bias because I don't want to spend a 4th or later on a WR, I prefer not to draft a WR if we wait that long. Ty seems more like a RB to me...he lacks a lot in the WR department. bad-routes, poor hands, not a lot of flexibility, just lacks those WR characteristics...think of a worse Cordarrelle Patterson.
If we have to wait that long (really hope not) Conley, Diggs, or Lockett would be my pick in the 3rd...love lockett

I'm hoping for a WR.
My heart wants DGB - badly
BUTTT my brain says someone else.
maybe Strong.
Personally, I was a VERY fast guy.

If we draft a WR in second or third round, we need a big one. A red zone threat, like DGB, Strong or Funchess.
Please not a guy like Smith or Lockett.

I'd rank that list as Strong.DGB........Kendricks. Don't want to deal with either Collins' problems, same with gregory at least in the 2nd round, jake fisher would be great if we need a tackle now but a 3rd tackle in the 2nd round... nah, plus he wouldnt fit the mold of moving to LG either.. would have to move him to RT and Davis to G. Eli Harold I don't know anything about so can't comment.
Devin Smith should have been an option as well but most like DGB better. Other options: Ron Darby, Eddie Goldman, Eric Rowe, Maxx Williams, Tevin Coleman, Quinten Rollins
Baalke probably likes our CB group and he is great at finding mid to late round cb's so i'll take them out of the equation. RB seems unlikely so Coleman or Johnson probably not, maybe in the 3rd or 4th we go rb. I don't see us going Maxx Williams or TE unless Vernon is traded. Carrier got extended, McDonald could be replaced after this year but probably not before. Don't see us going NT in round 2 after DE in round 1 so Goldman is probably out. So I think Strong, DGB, Devin Smith or one of the ILB make the most sense.
Side note I guess one of the wz crushes Anderson is probably out now. I forgot about Funchess, might be a good guy to get in the 2nd and at worst you turn him into a TE after failing at wr. Also, Sammie Coates might be better suited in the 3rd but could reach for him. Although, I feel better with the Steelers offense getting the most out of a prospect like him than our offense. Same with Devin Smith.

Goldman is one of my crushes this year.
Carl Davis would be awesome
And adding the Duke would be very good.

I like Gregory, DGB, and for my shocker Perryman the small agressive ILB from Miami!

we don't need another WR at this point but DGB would be a welcome addition.. we may need to trade up to get him.. but we have so many picks.. i think CB and pass rusher is bigger priority...
