Any Percy Harvin/Tavon Austin/Randall Cobb type of guys left? | Page 2

I really want us to draft a wide receiver with extreme versatility. Someone who can play wide receiver, return kicks and punts, and also someone you can give some hand offs too. Are there any receivers left that have some experience doing all three of these things?

Boyce definitely, or a guy like TJ Moe in the 7th.

I feel like Boyce is explosive and has the bulk and is kind of compact, so he might be able to be used as a guy in the backfield, even though he wasn't used like that in college. Just really wish we could get our own Randall cobb type of guy.

I think we take our Percy Harvin/Randall Cobb type of guy in the 2nd round last year. I'm predicting we grab LaMichael James from Oregon and train him up to return punts, in addition to his usual KR duties. He can be a shifty change of pace guy out of the backfield, and a difficult two-way-go to cover as a slot receiver.

C'mon Baalke, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!

Yeah hes the closest guy we have to that right now. Would love to see him play some receiver with kendall hunter and Frank Gore in the backfield.

Love T.J. Moe, the guy is insanely quick and gets off the line with ease, juking people out of their socks. He knows how to get open, is incredibly strong, has great hands, but he doesn't time well and is not a speed burner. I think he's terribly underrated and I have him as one of my top ten remaining receivers left. He's actually right behind Boyce in my list.
