If this is about drafting, the thread should be locked or should be moved.

I think his problem drafting WRS is the Misconception that we need to draft "speed" recievers. I disagree with the need for Speed wrs. You need recievers who can separate using route running and strength and route anticipation. Look at Crabs nowdays, he was never a burner yet he can create space with his size and strength. And back in the day look at Jerry Rice, Cris Carter and Michael Irvin, none of those guys were burners yet each one of those guys was a GAMEBREAKER by creating space and route running. Alshon Jeffrey last 12' draft coulda and shoulda been a 49ers. And then Baalke had Keenan Allen fall in our laps at #55 and he takes a Guy called Ronald MCDonald. Shoulda took Allen and then TE Jordan Reed afterwards just like my MOCK.

Originally posted by RishikeshA:We have such major problems, we've been to the NFC Championship and 5 yards from a SB win in the last two years. In last years' SB we had two 100 yard receivers in the game. This year our receivers are finally healthy and we're headed in the right direction.

It also has to do with who is doing the scouting. They supply Baalke w/the info for him to look at and evaluate.
Our WR coaching is piss-poor. BUT even if we had Gordon - would he actually get used by Roman?

Mod's this is different from the other Baalke thread
This is focused just on the inability with regard to wide receivers
There is the Josh Gordon Thread in NFL Talk (he has 1400 yards, what could have been if there was a trade on the table)
The Keenan Allen talk
We just signed Wylie, there was the thread about Lockette now performing back up again in Seattle
We drafted AJ Jenkins who will go down in 49ers lore as probably one of the worst WR draft choices ever, up there with Bassmaster Woods
Crabs is not a bust but we swapped AJJ for Baldwin. Baldwin is 6'4 with 4.47 speed. He actually performed a little in KC
Why couldn't the coaches get anything out of Baldwin, or AJJ, or Lockette.
Like others have said, they went with Kyle for 8 weeks all the while Ninertalk was saying he was garbage, trade for Gordon, play Baldwin, etc.
We have 2 Wrs under contract for next year.
Is it coaching ala Jerry Sullivan before where he had "his guys."
We have so many picks but WR has become such a weakness, although having Boldin, Crabs, and Manningham healthy is a good trio.
Did they just think it would be those three?
I liked what little I saw from Patton but now he will be inactive from here on out.
I think this is a huge problem and more fundamental that will prevent this team from getting to its max capacity.
Vernon had 11 TDs and is 3rd in the league in TDs. That is great and not a problem.
Why can't we find and develop WRs when teams like SD can (Allen, and before that guys like Vincent Jackson)
Don't hate, participate
