Yeah I agree. I like Trent but frankly I think James is better for the slot role because of his home run ability. I'm not in the camp of getting rid of Trent though, just wouldn't mind James taking his snaps away

This was by far my favorite selection in the 2018 draft (Warner and Reed were my next favorites). I was pounding the table for Anthony Miller but James in rd 7 is a phenomenal consolation prize as I don't see much dropoff between the two. He's quick, separates, and plays big to win contested catches.
Despite what everyone says I don't think he's a threat to Trent Taylor - I think he's our longterm solution for the Taylor Gabriel role and will be what Aldrick Robinson served as a stop gap for. Taylor likely was over-used at times due to injuries but he has a very specific role on this team as a slot wr and chains mover. James has the top end speed that Taylor doesn't but Taylor has the superior 3 cone quickness that endears him to that specific role.
I'm guessing this is Garcon's last yr as a 49er and see a pretty good young core of speed and separators in Goodwin, Pettis, Taylor, James and Bourne - all of which are upper echilon 3 cone players which IMO is the most important physical attribute in a Shannahan WR.

I kind of hope I'm wrong but I think James has a bigger impact on this team than Pettis does as a rookie.
