Wide Receivers we should target and when, your wide receiver draft board | Page 3

First round: Obviously Kevin White is the top fit for our team with his size and speed. Amari Cooper reminds me of Jerry Rice with how fluid he is in routes, although he doesn't have the height we are looking for. Davante Parker is my other top choice I wouldn't mind us taking at 15. These are the only 3 I can see us moving up or staying put and getting. Amari Cooper might fall to us if someone likes Parker more. Now if we trade back and accumulate more picks, I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Dorial Green Beckham but only if we had another pick to gamble with. I don't like Strong in the first because he looked a little slow and didn't catch the ball well on the move in my opinion. Second Round: I see Phillip Dorset as a TY Hilton type player and I think he could be valued in the second round but I'd prefer to get him in the 3d. Jalen Strong would be good in the second as well, and it might be worth taking a gamble on Coates here based on potential alone but I don't think he has good enough hands to catch Kaep's fastballs. He would be a better 3d round pick IMO. Chris Conely is a receiver that might be worth taking a swing on here, but again he is more of a 3d round value in my opinion. He has the best measurables in the draft though and his production was low due to a run first offense. I'm not a huge fan of any of the other receivers earlier than this though. Third Round: In addition to those I named in the second that were borderline, I like Nelson Agholor and Devin Smith here. I haven't seen enough of the other receivers to make a good judgement. Who do you guys think could be late round steals and how does your wide receiver draft board stack up?

This is exactly what I was thinking...

Plan A) If either White or Cooper are there at #9, give the Giants a call for a trade up and pick one. It may take our #15 and #79. I'm leaning right now to White now that I've watched more film of him.

Plan B) If neither White nor Cooper are there #11, call the Browns...give em Ahmad Brooks + #15 for their #12 overall pick....take Parker.

Plan C) If neither White (OAK?), Cooper (NYJ?) or Parker (MIN) are available, trade with San Diego, our #15 for their #17 + #83....take DGB.

A.Brooks has no trade value.

Why would SD trade their 83rd pick to move up two spots. Who are they jumping the Texans for?

I really hope we don't select a WR anywhere early in this draft. We simply don't use them.

Completely different staff now. Plus possibly losing Crabtree and Stevie Johnson means we need WRs.

I could see Baalke trading down with the Chiefs to #18 if Parker is on the board at #15, then taking an OL like Peat. Baalke might get other teams wanting to draft up for Parker as well, but KC seems the most obvious.

DGB after Strong has been picked.

Funchess if Smith is gone

Strong is worth the 15th pick. His best football is ahead of him.

I agree, would want Strong over Parker. Niners could still trade down to #18 with KC if Parker still on the board, pick up an extra pick and take Strong at #18.

I'd be happy with either player, just saying that Strong shouldn't be thought of as the "well lets trade down and get him" guy...cuz I don't think he'll be around.

Though if we did what you say then I'd be very happy :)

After watching more of Strong's highlights, he looks better than Parker. However, watching him at the combine with the run and catch drills, he kept slowing down to catch the ball. He looked noticeably slower than most of the wide outs in that drill which really dampened my opinion of him. He does catch a lot of contested balls but their QB has way more touch. I don't think he would come down with as many of those with Kaep throwing fastball darts on almost every throw.

I am on board with this plan, although Funchess would be more of our Delanie Walker type of player I believe and less of a wide receiver

Ty Montgomery deserves to be on my underrated list.

Hate the lack of deep ball tracking. Very impressive looking dude with speed.. but more of a YAC guy underneath than a legit deep ball threat.

Am i the only person that likes Kenny Bell from Nebraska?

Dudes a BALLER.

I'd be more than happy if we grabbed him as early as the 3rd round.

I like Justin Hardy. He blocks like crazy and is already accustomed to catching awkward passes from his QB.
