Big WR options

Of these guys, here's my rankings and where I think they'll go:

Kevin White - Top 10
DeVante Parker - Top 15
Jaelen Strong - Mid-Late 1st
Devin Funchess - Late 1st
Ty Montgomery - Early-Mid 2nd

I think Parker is our guy. If Funchess is there in the second, then I'd take him for sure. Montgomery is also worth serious consideration and is a must pick in the third if he falls. Vince Mayle is a solid mid-round pick. Also keep your eyes open for Josh Doctson of TCU. He's 6'4 and athletic and has made some sick catches. Might not come out this year though.
really how many WR treadz are we goin to have each yr ????
Where is DGB?
DGB had no stats for the year.

Really, the point of this thread was supposed to be mid to late round sleepers who could be available if the Niners didnt go WR in the 1st.
Does anyone have any info on Breshad Perriman
I dont get the obsession with big wide receivers on this forum. We need speed and quickness ie TY Hilton, John Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, etc.


You dont beat Richard Sherman with size, you beat him with speed and quickness.

Only people that can make it stop is the front office and coaches. Until we finally hit on a WR, these threads will continue. Maybe they should start drafting the guys we list lol

Devin Funchess had 62 receptions and 4 TD, so simply math averages 15.5 receptions per TD
Darren Waller had 21 receptions and 5 TD, so he averages 4.2 receptions per TD.

This is an extremely rudimentary equation that simply does not factor in many critical components, I.E. strength of schedule, quality of teammates (QB, RB, fellow WR/TE), offensive scheme, etc. However, it does provide a broad perspective on production. Based on some of these stats and a very minimal comparison to strength of schedule, the following players look like they could potentially be value picks compared to targeting a WR at #1.

WR
Tony Lippett: 3rd/4th
Vance Mayl

WR/TE
Darren Waller: late round (?)

I haven't watched these guys, any input? Any other value picks from the big WR pool this year?

Have I mentioned that I like Waller as a TE candidate?
I think Dezmin Lewis is an interesting guy later in the draft. Good measurables.
