I don't understand everyone's bickering over the WR position. We are stacked at the WR & TE position. Even if we lose Crabs, we still have Boldin, Stevie, Bruce Ellington, Quinton Patton, VD, Vance McDonald, Garrett Celek. Bruce & Stevie haven't even broken loose yet. Once they get some PT, they're going to tear it up. Everyone also says we need speed. Didn't Bruce & VD run a 4.3? Our team is stacked!
my point, no need to draft a WR in the early rounds

We need to draft a WR early. A bigger, fast one. Boldin, Johnson, and Davis are not spring chickens. Bruce Ellington and Patton lack the size and because of HaRomans ineptitude of not playing them more last year we don't know how effective they will be. I'm thinking McDonald and Celek will have better years.

It's funny because I think that we can get to the Super Bowl and win it w/the group of WR/TEs that we have now if everyone are used the right way.... or, if Kaep can learn how to play the QB position..
What we really need is ineterior rusher... so I think really, DL should be our #1 priority.. NOT, WRs!!!

No need early, huh? I remember when Randy Moss first came into the league. Green Bay corners were embarrassed. So, the next year, Green Bay drafts tall corners to at least, somehow, possibly, slow him down. Seattle has corners who can control our current list of receivers, why not draft someone who could loosen Seattle's death grip?

If this post is implying what I think it is implying (that we need a tall Randy Moss go up and get it type WR to counteract Seattle's CBs), I wholeheartedly disagree.
Seattle does not have problems with big physical receivers. They have problems with the shifty slot type WRs. Did you not watch the Superbowl? Those are the type of WRs that gives Seattle fits.

Micheal Crabtree is a slot WR at best he should have played that all year he's a tough guy , Bildon getting old Crabtree might sign somewhere else Stevie will be the only guy in the list to ever have over 1000 receving I think they need get a tall fast WR draft ASU WR Strong or WVU WR White both are tall great hands speed

Devante Parker in the draft would be perfect to add to WR corps. We need a #1 WR to stretch the field with Boldin and the others really just possession WR's. I'd also like to get Funchess in the draft to eventually replace Vernon at TE.

People seem to forget this fact. I can't remember the last time a team won it all with a dominant, #1 receiver that everyone craves. I'd like Kevin White and Phillip Dorsett, but I actually prefer DL in the first now. Give us a true deep threat and I think all of our receivers will shine.

Umm I'm pretty sure Gronk had his way.
Ultimately, winning 1-1 matchups is what we need, size or no size. We need ballers.

I really don't see us utilizing a speed receiver, every year we say we need a speed receiver to 'take the top off the defense" ...but we never draft one, AJ Jenkins was supposed to be that receiver, so maybe the front office is skeptical and don't care to draft a WR in the first, ever since getting burned with the Jenkins pick ...but this draft is stocked with quality WR;s ...there should be a big time talent at 15 if we choose to go that route ...but we'll go defensive line IMO ..but then again, we never know what Baalke has up his sleeve
