Landry needs his own thread, clearly. Tough as nails, outstanding route runner and a very enthusiastic blocker. He fits this team's offense and style perfectly. If you've read my draft musings, you know how much emphasis I put on a guy's viability within the 49ers system. Landry is a great fit, hard worker, great teammate by all accounts, busts his ass out on the field, a very willing blocker, not flashy, just consistent, works hard, plays smart. I see him projecting out as a very good #2 WR in the NFL, similar to Boldin in terms of his demeanor and hard-nosed style of play, not as big physically, but a fearless guy who simply makes plays for you. He plays with an edge and makes some flat-out ridiculous, Brandon Lloyd type circus catches routinely. He's not as fast or as explosive as his teammate Beckham but he's solid like a rock, just a consistent playmaker, a guy who rarely let's the ball get to his body, he snatches it out of the air and is a threat to make huge gains after the catch. He's one of those guys that QB's absolutely love, a highly dependable target, you put the ball in his general vicinity, he'll haul it in. Personally, I'd be happy if the 49ers traded down in the 1st, up in the 2nd and took both Landry and Beckham. Toughness, receiving ability and speed, all of this to go along with Patton and Crabtree long-term.

1.) Bradley Roby, CB – Ohio St. (5'11", 190)
2a.) Jarvis Landry, WR – LSU (6'0", 195)
2b.) Pierre Desir, CB – Lindenwood (6'1", 205)
3a.) Cody Latimer, WR – Indiana (6'2", 215)
3b.) James Gayle, DE/OLB – Virginia Tech (6'4", 255)
3c.) Terrance Brooks, S – Florida St. (5'11", 200)

I might cry if this is how the draft works out.

According to who? Go look at the results of the draft last year, then look at all the other sites that put up a "final mock draft" and chuckle at how incredibly wrong they were. Online rankings don't mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

That whole draft simulator thing is dependent on the views and biases of the person who designed it, ask 10 different NFL scouts about how they feel about a player and you'll likely get 10 different answers.

I like Landry a lot. I don't understand why so many people have him rated so low.

stacked WR class and questions of whether he can separate and get behind corners... I really like him and would have no problem with us selecting him prior to rd 3.. but I do suspect he could fall to rd 3.

I want two receivers. One ridiculously quick and speedy guy, another one who can just flat out dominate with his toughness, hands, and route-running. We all love the 6-4 receivers, but sometimes the 6-0 guy is simply the better player.

Landry doesn't have amazing size at only 6-0, but the way he plays the game leads me to believe he is going to develop into a starting receiver in the NFL.
