Comparing a 4th rounder to guys who went in the first few rounds. Ellington will be just fine if they actually throw him the ball. Notice how when they actually used him in the passing game vs Denver he did well?
Crazy idea...throw a kid the ball and see if he then contributes huh?
Originally posted by PrimeTime:Bryant, Allen Robinson, Jordan Matthews, moncrief and brown were all picked in the mid rounds and had the same grade as Ellington in the draft. Also why would ellington scoring on the last play of the game against Broncos 3rd string team impress you?

The only guys who actually had a similar grade to Ellington were Bryant and maybe Brown and let's be honest about Brown nobody expected him to go that high. His thing was speed and speed only.
Also what do draft grades have to do with anything? The players were drafted where they were drafted and Ellington went in the 4th round.
So how about you answer the following..
Which player would you remove from our draft before we took Ellington?
Jimmie Ward - our nickel corner now and future starting safety
Carlos Hyde - backup to Gore and future starter
Marcus Martin - about to be our starting and future Center
Chris Borland - depth at ILB we needed with Bowman being out
Brandon Thomas - IR pick who will replace Iupati next season
So who do you remove and who do you add?
There's also this little fact that we have 7 receivers on our roster right now. 4 guys have been the primary receiver at one point or another during this season. Which rookie WR is a MUST have?
Also what's the point of listing guys like Watkins, Evans, Beckham, Cooks or Benjamin who were all gone before our first round pick?
As for what's impressed me about Ellington? Has nothing to do with the garbage time TD. The guy is a perfect slot receiver. He's physical, has great hands and isn't afraid of anything. He has caught everything thrown to him...which hasn't been much.
Sorry for the personal insult but yes it is idiotic to think that we have the worst receiver in the draft when we have barely used the kid as a receiver!!!
Threads like this and "logic" like this give 49er fans a bad rep. It's embarrassing. How about letting the guy actually play a couple of seasons where he has time to show what he's capable off before making this thread?
What really takes the cake here is we've had no problems with our receivers. I could understand if this was last year where the only guy worth anything was Anquan Boldin but we've got a healthy Patton inactive every game because we finally have guys who can contribute at a high level.
