I'm not thrilled with the pick just because I felt he was a sizeable reach.
However I'm looking for all positive things about it to feel better and obviously hoping for the best.

Here's what I wrote about new 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stripling earlier today. I'll make a cut up of some of his plays, not highlights, to show you what I saw. pic.twitter.com/Scvvron8GF

This is why the 49ers drafted WR De'Zhaun Stribling

A riser throughout the process. Physical. Ran away from DBs 20 lbs lighter than him after the catch
and could be one of the best blockers in this class with workhttps://t.co/Q8SIbkakxr pic.twitter.com/o4iGoelB8S

A faster version of Jauan who can beat man coverage. What's not to like?

Shocker a reach….once they kept moving down you knew they felt they had a guy that no one was gonna take that was gonna be there.
It's so incredibly frustrating.

Yep..
I truly hope I'm wrong about Stribling, I just didn't see it on tape. The "Day one NFL Caliber look" just wasn't there for me.
I saw a vertical guy, rotational WR3/4, at least early on, Who can block their butt off, but isn't gonna cook anyone with route running or quickness.
I don't want a role playing blocking WR at the top of Round 2, that's absurd. I wouldn't have touched him til the fourth.
It's not that he's awful, it's just way too early for me.

Would have been available at least 30 picks from now. Better talent sitting there

Not unhappy with the player, just believe there were better overall players at higher positions of need on the board.

Some highlights:
- 68.4% success rate vs. man coverage
- 67.9% success rate vs. press
- Strong results at the catch point and as a tackle-breaker
Stribling is a tough player to deal with in traffic and with the ball… pic.twitter.com/NiTpQL2YjE
