I'm surprised there isn't a thread about Coates already. In many ways he fulfills what a lot of people are looking for at WR for the 49ers, namely, explosiveness, a true downfield threat that can create separation and be a major playmaker. He just came off a 200+ yard performance against Alabama. While raw and in need of development, his upside is undeniable. Coates also has decent size for the position, going about 6'2" and 200 pounds with excellent speed and leaping ability.

I think he would be good value in the 2nd round.

Think he will be gone before we can get to him. Nice prospect for the 49ers though

If things stay the same (unlikely), I see no point in taking any receiver that needs any kind of development. There are some pretty legit guys out there however and all of them cannot go in the first round. If we actually do miss the playoffs, things could get really interesting because our pick will be MUCH higher and opens the door to all kinds of trading scenarios.
I'm surprised a thread isn't made on Coates as well. He pretty much has everything we need at the moment. Quite simply, a playmaker.

Seems to be a solid citizen too. I like him as a #2 speed receiver on the outside.

seen him against 'Bama. Sherman would learn to respect his speed very fast, thats for sure. 6-2@200, which seems likely to be almost true, at his speed and with his hands, why not; then again, he would be gone very early.

That combination starting opposite of Stevie Johnson, with Ellington working the slot, and Patton playing all positions would be lethal.

Not sure if that's true. Lots of good WR in this draft. Cooper, White, Coates, Parker, DGB, Funchess, and a handfull of others that I can't think of right now. Someone is bound to fall, and Coates is not a plug and play guy yet, so he's as likely as any to fall to us.

He's come up several times in other threads, though. We can cut ourselves some slack
