Wide receivers thread

Jalen Hurd will be our Megatron. dark horse candidate is Jennings. Hurd was a great RB at 6'3" and he was talented enough to play WR one year and get drafted in the 3rd round. dude is going to be lights out. We have a WR group that is built to bully CBs down the field. our RBs are going to have a monster year lol

The DL might have the most 1st round selections but look how much draft capital was used on WRs;

1. 2017 5th round - Trent Taylor
2. 2018 2nd round, 3rd round - Dante Pettis + 5th Round
3. 2018 7th Round - Riche James
4. 2019 2nd Round - Deebo
5. 2019 3rd round - Jalen Hurd
6. 2020 1st round + 4th + 5th Round - Brandon Aiyuk
7. 2020 3rd & 4th round - Emanual Sanders + 5th Round
8. 7th round - Jauan Jennings

2017 -1
2018 - 2 Would be 3 if not for the extra 5th received
2019 - 2
2020 - 5

9 draft picks in the last 3 years were used to make up the WRs on the roster. That is a ton of capital. I am not complaining, I just wanted to analyze the WR position as a whole.

Here is my WR power ranking

1. Deebo Samuel
2. Brandon Aiyuk
3. Kendrick Bourne
4. Trent Taylor
5. Jalen Hurd
6. Richie James
7. Dante Pettis
8. Jauan Jennings
9. Travis Benjamin
10. Chris Finke
11. Shawn Poindexter
12. Chris Thompson

James is garbage IMO, his near fumble in the SB was last straw, he can't be trusted as a returner.

I wish some of that draft capital were used for interior linemen...

Trent Taylor is damaged goods - he's not going to be 100% for a while.

Has he even been cleared? It's only been 9 months since he tore it. t'll just take him an extra coupe of months to come back.

You still seem to be confusing Trent Taylor with Julian Taylor. Trent Taylor didn't tear his ACL he fractured his foot and then he had to have four additional surgeries to deal with infections that kept developing. I gave not heard anything confirmed about what his current status is but the chatter seems to be that he will be ready for training camp, if there is one

I thought it was Trent who tore his ACL?

No it was Jullian in practice with like 3 or 4 weeks left in the regular season, which is why I see him on PUP to start 2020, and Darrion Daniels on the 53 as backup NT.

That's great news - I thought he had torn it.

I think Kevin Givens actually have the upper hand in backing up Jones than Darrion Daniels IMO. But who knows, anything could happen.

So tired of the "fantasy football did ___" type takes. They are lazy takes and more often than not are simply the go to when they have nothing else to say.
