WR Laquon Treadwell

I'll predict a 4.58 for him. That's slightly downhill with the wind at his back and his buddy on the stopwatch.

That's probably what he will run with an extra month plus to train, on his home turf.

You are probably right on that one because he has to be monster considering his size. Unfortunately, size matters and he doesn't have it. Speaking of size, it'd be interesting to try and rank these guys for Chips offense. Kelly has said, and his actions in Philly seemed to indicate, that size does matter for his receivers in a big way.

Nearest I can tell, two of the top wideouts in this draft include a big guy who can't separate from defenders and may lack the necessary deep speed required and a small guy with deep speed but questionable hands. If you are going to take a risk at 7, might as well do it on a QB since the impact is greater. Perhaps it makes sense to go defense at 7.

I woudn't go WR at 7. None of these prospects check all the boxes, which is what you want from a top 7 pick. Just too many good players to pass up to fill a need. Don't forget Josh Doctson on that list of best prospects. He may end up the guy with the best all-around combination of size, speed, hands, and productivity for the next level. He consistently slaughtered teams in 2015.

Honestly, the Niners should bypass a WR with their first, bypass it with their early second, and then trade back into the second to select Sterling Shepard. He is going to make an immediate impact in 2016 in the slot for a team that needs productivity. He is pro-ready from a route running perspective. Think of Tyler Lockett, minus the world class special teams skills.

No WAY he runs under a 4.6. Likely be low 4.7 If somehow he runs it under a 4.6 he would definitely go top ten

2016 WR class seems to be reasonably deep but without any real superstars. Would rather we filled more pressing needs and looked for a bargain later.

With Kap coming back, I think the pick at #7 is going to be Treadwell.

Can treadwell be a star wr? I don't wanna take one at 7 if he can't change the game and have opposing d coordinators game plan for him

don't think kap coming back has any impact if the right QB is on the board. Kap is going to be back by default because of his injury triggering guarantees. Those surgeries were to get back at the FO for benching him.

If he runs a good 40, he should be a game changer, IMO.

Richard Sherman is already foaming at the mouth. A WR he can beat up at the line all game, and a qb he already owns.

I think OL is our priority it was horrendous last year and pass rush as well

mayo49 , I would be thrilled but I think Trent going Defense with that pick.

Not really impressed with this dude. I'm still upset they didn't get DGB who would of beat all these WR's coming out this year.None of these guys should even be considered until the 3rd or 4th.

We need linemen, lbs, and a qb. We don't need a WR taken this high in the draft, its pointless.

SB Nation's Arif Hassan found three legitimate stylistic comparisons for Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell when scouring the data.


Via Matt Harmon's data at Backyard Banter, Hassan discovered good comps (anything above 90 is considered a hit) between Treadwell and Dez Bryant (SimScore: 92.7), Mike Evans (SimScore: 92.5), and Dwayne Bowe (SimScore: 91.0). "Treadwell compares most strongly to Dez Bryant and in particular, both have the same physical profile with height, weight and 40 times, as well as success rates on hook routes, nine routes and post routes," Hassan wrote. "For the most part, this presents the picture of a versatile player who can play a variety of roles, but succeeds most in a possession role, winning contested catches." The 6-foot-2, 221-pound Ole Miss product has also drawn a handful of comps to Alshon Jeffery.

How do they know he has the same 40 time as Dez Bryant when he hasn't run the 40 (he's probably in the 4.6-4.7 range which would be slower than Dez)? Bryant ran a 4.52 at his pro day and appears to have 4.5 speed on the field. Bryant also had an 11'1" broad jump and 38" vertical at his pro day and has 34" arms and 9 3/4" hands (Treadwell has 33 3/8" arms and 9 1/2" hands). Bryant is just a better player and a better athlete across the board. Treadwell doesn't even come close to Mike Evan's length either. Dwayne Bowe is a better comp, but he's less athletic than Bowe.
