Overview

The evaluation for Coker boils down to balancing his pro-caliber size and ball skills against his level of competition and potential lack of NFL quickness and speed. His focus, ball-tracking and timing give him distinct advantages that other receivers lack, and his catch radius and hand strength helped him make mincemeat of Ivy League coverages near the goal line. Coker's deep speed appears to be average, so he will need to refine his route running to become better equipped to beat NFL defenders in space and open up workable windows for his quarterback. Coker is talented and productive, but the testing numbers will be huge for his draft slotting and chances in the league.

Strengths

• Instinctive hand fighting in his release and at top of the route.
• Possesses robust ball skills across the board to win downfield.
• Fade monster with size, adjustments and sticky hands to dominate.
• Works back to the throw and is keenly aware of the sticks.
• Leverage and footwork for crisp cut-and-flatten on routes underneath.

Weaknesses

• Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength.
• Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage.
• Displays small gear-down when stemming the route.
• Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks.
• Below-average quickness with his run after catch.

Damn - I like the 49ers draft.  Pearsall and Cowing are great adds.  

Have to wonder what that means for others in their wr room

yeah just trade the rest of the draft for a 4th and take a center and call it a draft

Lol

Medical reports must not be great for wilson. 

If i could get one of:

AD mitchell, keon coleman, ladd mcconkey

and a later round addition of:

malik washington, jalynn polk, jalen mcmillan, jermaine burton

Also keep in mind that they have George pickens and are looking for complimentary pieces.

First off, thanks for doing this poll.  I appreciate people who are willing to stimulate conversations as I appreciate those who can respond to varying opinions without sarcasm and unsupported proclamations. 

I want to break down this post because you bring forward an interesting list:

First, I agree that it is not a given that we take a WR at 33.  It is perhaps our biggest need, but that does not mean that it should be our first pick.   For example, I really like Cooper DeJean-the sure tackling, versatile DB from Iowa.  He could backup CB and S, perhaps moving to the nickel or dime back role....With Horn's injury history and our lack of depth at CB, I see him being on the field a lot--I am not sure he will be there...

• EDGE:  We have already added 3 Edge players (Wonnum, Chaisson, and Clowney) to go with Barno, Leota, and Johnson.  I am not sure that we go Edge at 33 based on what I expect to be there.  I am not sure that they see that as a need.
• DB:  CB is definitely a need, and if a solid CB is on the board at 33, he should be considered.
• DL:  I am not sure what they want to upgrade, but the DT spot could use some depth, as could the DE position.  Since both are depth, I doubt that we take one at 33.
• OL:  We have a starting five, but I am still not sure if they like the Center situation or they are not showing their cards.  To me, there are 2 centers who could help us and if they fall, they would be worthy of the pick at 33:  Barton (Duke) and Powers-Johnson (Oregon).  I do not think Frazier (WVU) is a good fit for our system and I thing Georgia's Van Pran is a third rounder.  We have solid depth at T and G, but we could add a tackle later.
• LB:  You did not mention LB, but we have Jewell and Thompson, both about 30, as the starters at the ILB positions.  Morgan knows how important it is to have a DAWG at ILB.  I think we will draft an ILB with the pick 33 or 39--but we could probably get one if we have a 5-10 spot trade back.  I think Morgan likes NC State's Payton Wilson or Edge Cooper in round 2, and I think we go with one of them.  If not, in the third, we will be forced to take Michigan's Colson or Clemson's Trotter, but both are lesser players than Wilson or Cooper.

If we had a chance to get a top CB at #33 and a top ILB at #39, it is POSSIBLE that the Panthers don't take a WR until 65--the draft is rather deep.

 

 

Really like this post and share similar thoughts as to how i think we may address picks 33 and 39. Im curious to see how the front office reacts if a run on WRs happens in the first. Do they panic and take the next available WR atop their board. Or do they stay strong and maybe take a CB , C that may have fallen, or an ILB that they love. I will say it seems as if they were already suspecting a run on WRs on day 1 even prior to some moves that have happened around the league.

I know that the OP said this isn't about 33, but if not what's the point? Hell if I just had to pick whom I consider the best, it would probably be Nabers, but Harrison and Odunze would be easy picks to make.

I don’t think he means this post isn’t about pick 33. Its about who your favorite WRs are, relative to where we pick. Like who do you like that we could realistically select on Day 2-3.

Does anyone know what day he’s visiting? Don’t think I’ve seen an actual day put out. Just “this week”

Am I crazy to think a (healthy) Mike Williams makes this team a fringe division contender? That would be three solid vet receivers on the team. Morgan was patched up the O-line. I don't think losing Burns will matter in the long run, and they can use the 2 seconds on either a RB or pass rusher or both and if (huge if) Bryce turns into a competent QB next year the season might not be a disaster. 

We will not be using a 2nd on a RB.
