A lot of people knock kap for his so called in accurates .but if you think about maybe a taller qb needs taller wide receiver .....being that we lack size and speed at that position ,maybe trent should stop taking 5"9 receiver ...kap needs the prototypical 49er receiver size 6"2and up

All the issue with drafting WR and they couldn't figure this out! NOTED... No short WR like Welker,Jackson,Brown. They have to be tall like Baldwin.

Boldin 6'1"
Crabtree 6'1"
Johnson 6'2"
Lloyd 6'0"

So you see, size is not the problem. In fact, Ellington is the only guy standing below 6 feet (He's 5'9"). The problem is lack of speed to complement all the possession receivers we have. Boldin, Crab, and Johnson are all good players, but they're skills are redundant. Neither one represents a deep threat, the type of receiver that makes the defense scared of the long ball. Would love to get a WR with size/speed combo.

Your grammar is the real issue here. It's "an issue", not "a issue"

But I would agree to an extent. Id like to see at least one tall WR on this team. That's something we haven't had since Moss and even he was basically washed up

Oh I guess we had Baldwin, didn't we? He sucked so much I forgot about him
