There's a lot I really like about this draft. But like so many years... their handling of the WR position is frustrating.

Jalen Hurd could be more healthy than we know

Anything we get from Hurd has to be viewed as bonus at this point.

He was hurt in college and every year in the pros. I like when plays but you cannot bank on him playing.

Lol I hope it wasn't that clown Larry Kruger. He called Fred Warner a special teams player the day he was drafted.

I haven't watched Hufanga enough, but Fred had elite instincts and eyes in zone coverage and fantastic athleticism. Not sure that's Hufanga.

Lessen Jimmy's chance to get hurt. Maybe the goal is for him to throw just 8 passes a game like the rout of the Packers in the 2019 title game. Maybe why so many RBs. Less QB injury; more chance of RB injury.

What a bizarre choice.

Not bizarre at all, he fits this offense incredibly well. May not start out as a RB but as a special teamer but he's a solid pickup.

This was one of my late round RB's that screams Shanny type, we added two RB's that are multidimensional and will let the play book stay fresh with the ability to run through the tackles but also catch screens and quick outs to keep the Def honest. I have a feeling we are going to have a great shot at WR and DE prospects when the draft is over

I guess that's all us fans can hope for. Been a weird weekend. Niners making picks that are almost all counter to what they have done up until now. Besides getting Lance as their future franchise QB, Kyle DRAFTED two RB's, got two POWER OL instead of zone scheme linemen, drafted small CB's, and NO DL or WR's. Hope it turns out OK.

I think this sets us up for the next couple years especially since I think Mostert will be gone after this year.

I don't question his fit or even his value on special teams. I'm just surprised we took 2 RBs when we still have needs at edge and WR. But I trust these guys.

Kyle adding to the deepest playbook in the league.

Yeah Krueger really doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to football and especially the draft. He was putting some trade ideas on Twitter that made all of 9 Moon's ideas seem logical.

I am completely surprised that they didn't take a slot WR from this years talent pool.

It's possible they don't consider any of the remaining edge or wide receivers even possibilities to make the team

There's always the undrafted free agent pool

It wasn't Krueger.
