I'm kinda hoping Shanny hides him during preseason to try to get him on the practice squad for his rookie season.

Mostly just because of how many WR's we have and that I like.

Deebo
Aiyuk
Bourne
Taylor
Hurd
Pettis
James
Benjamin
Jennings

I'm hoping Pettis comes to camp determined and motivated to make the team. He's too talented. I'm also a fan of James, he makes plays once he gets the ball.
Good teams usually get their PS ransacked first.. you can always count on seattle to be first in line

Who's the last good player Seattle took from the Niners? Julian Peterson?

Plus, I'd rather them take Jennings than Pettis or James.

Maybe they just haven't been spotted there yet but could be telling the two of them are missing from the Nashville workouts. I think they have the biggest climb to make the roster.

Question is do we keep 7? I'd certainly rather keep 2 QBs and stick Rutter on the PS and keep 7 WRs versus keeping 6 WRs and holding Beathard for his last year and have him be inactive all year long again.

pettis and James will hardly see the field on offense and Benji will probably get gut.

We kept 7 WR's I start the season last year. Definitely possible again.

If Pettis comes in determined he can definitely work his way back into the rotation. I was watching the highlights of the first Rams game and he had some good catches. Even went up to catch a contested catch in the end zone but was out of bounds.

I would like to see Pettis emerge but i think we have other WRs that are better and need the snaps.

We still have the IR-DR to work with if Taylor, Hurd or anyone else isn't ready for the season (thats if we stay healthy everywhere else)
Give the kid a chance at playing his normal position first. According to the stats, he broke 30 tackles after the catch last year in the SEC. That's not easy. Kid can block, play special teams, throw (ex-QB) and generate YAC. Personally looking forward to seeing him play in whatever preseason the Niners will have.
I have been wanting bigger receivers for awhile now, hopefully this kid and Hurd ball out.

Yeah, he's literally going to be playing the same Z/F position Hurd will be playing. 2 deep in case Hurd can't go.
Good lord people, stop with the "make a WR a TE stuff"

In this system you have to be able to be an in-line blocker...Jennings can't block LBers and DEs. So basically he's a "big slot" WR. Same thing with Hurd at this point.

WR competition will be a good one. Training camp is upon us. Do we know whats going on with training camp and corona?

This. Hurd spent majority of his snaps in the slot last year in his limited action. Jennings is just another big slot guy and I think his best chance to making the 53 man roster will come down to Hurd's durability.

Very much agree on both points. We could keep 7 WR's if we go 2 QB's and 3 RB's but we'll see.

We kept 3 QB's, 3 RB's, and 7 WR's on the initial roster last season.
Beathard has got to finally go
