Best available players, position wise, really matches up well with SF's team needs. Good stuff.
The question I have is how big of a drop-off in a ranking of 1 to 10 with 1 being very slight, is it between these players? Or if you can put them into tier groups by drop-off? I would be happy to pass on a WR and go OL in the 2nd if the drop-off is a 3 or lower between the WRs.

0 AJ Brown Mississippi WR
11 Hakeem Butler Iowa St WR
18 Andy Isabella UMass WR
36 Parris Campbell Ohio St WR
37 JJ Arcega-Whiteside Stanford WR
44 Miles Boykin Notre Dame WR
Just hoping out of WR available in 2nd they done grab Whiteside, not impressed.
Starting to really like Butler as the top WR. You can't teach 10"+ hands and 6'5". I think it is more that he is so under control and adjust so well to the ball in the air that really got me sold. Brown probably the most polished but Butler could force Defensive schemes.

Who will be this year's Dante Pettis?
One more thing, MD. Does it concern you that NE drafted N'Keal over AJ Brown? Doesn't Brown perfectly fit their offense?

Agreed. I know I'm in the minority but I prefer Butler over Brown. That said I'd be happy with any of them

Interesting point. The pick surprised me too. Harry seems very abnormal for what they look for in a WR. Buuuut.... He was one of my favorites, and if they decided he was their top guy that may be more about Harry than Brown.

Agree. I think I'll be happy with any pick in the WR, DB, OT positions in the next 3 rounds. But I'll lean towards a WR pick high because I think that's the biggest impact to the offense. With Kittle drawing future double teams, the WR playing next to him is going to have a field day.
So what happened to greedy Williams? I remember him being hyped as a top 10 prospect and then he fell off a cliff. Just over hyped early in the process?

He doesn't like to tackle.
We will get a nice player with our 3rd as well!

The Patriots also suck at drafting WRs early. Lol
Please get Risner! Grab a receiver in the 3rd like Isabella. 9ers must protect Jimmy & Staley won't play forever.
