Going off averages (....instead of red herrings like Deebo),...Lynch will fumble this one with a 1st.
Give me another position early.
The only receivers they've drafted have been Taylor, Pettis, Deebo and Hurd.
Taylor looked good in the slot as a rookie, was dealing with injuries last year and this year.
Pettis had all the physical ability and skills but seems to lack the competitive fire.
Deebo just keeps getting better week after week as a rookie.
Hurd hasn't taken a single snap as a rookie yet so we have no clue what he is actually capable of yet.
Your whole averages argument doesn't really make sense considering the small sample size where it looks like they missed on Pettis but hit on Deebo. If Hurd turns out to be a plus then they would actually be doing well at the position.
If WR is BPA then I have no problem trusting that they'll make a good choice. They seem to be learning from previous mistakes and honing their approach to the draft. In 2017 they got burned by taking a couple of headcases in Froster and Williams. The next year they went with high character prospects. They saw how passive Pettis was and this year went with a guy that is the exact opposite in Deebo as well as Hurd.
Considering this team is sitting at 9-1 in the third year of this regime, its hard to doubt that these guys will continue to build this roster to be even deeper and more competitive.
