Originally posted by AmpLee:Yes, gaping hole. Williams and James are OKAY at returning kicks. Neither is a good consideration at returning punts IMO. A KR/PR of Tavon's caliber is vastly different that the guys currently on our roster. I don't take that position lightly and I'd be surprised if the Niners didn't address that in the draft whether it be Austin or a similar player in later rounds.
Which is exactly my point. Although I disagree that we have a "gaping hole" on special teams, even if we did that doesn't justify using a high pick on a guy that is pretty much only going to be used for that purpose.
Again, any WR we draft is going to have a tough time getting on the field this year. Unless there is a "can't miss" prospect like Megatron, Fitz, or Julio Jones, we're just needlessly wasting a draft pick.
