San Francisco 49ers Have Cut WR KD Cannon

Damn...you're right. I watched the whole tape and they're all go routes or a variation of a hitch or screen. No slants, corners, posts, outs, speed outs...unless the highlights just wanted to show "big plays", his route tree must be lacking

Yep, gotta love the raw ability, but can he actually be an NFL WR? Baylor WRs are very limited in their routes. That doesn't necessarily mean that can't be coached up to run the full route tree, but a guy with Cannon's abilities and power conference D1 production rarely goes undrafted. It's not like he was flying under the radar. Everyone knew about this guy and I'm sure ever team looked into him to some degree. Not a single one of them deemed him worthy of one of their draft selections. That says a lot, but it's not completely damning. Guys who eventually become solid NFL players go undrafted every year. But, for the 49ers to pick him up, give him $45k signing bonus (that's big guaranteed money for a UDFA) then cut him loose after rookie mini-camp? Damn. That's unusual. There's a reason for that for sure. Whether he's dumb as a rock, has attitude issues, something came up off the field, SOMETHING came to light to cause them to cut bait on this kid this quickly.

    • Who were we going to trade up with? The Dolphins wanted Proctor, the Rams were vehement on taking Ty Simpson, the Ravens wanted Ioane, and the Bucs werent trading with us except for maybe a kings ransom. Even if we wanted to move, we had no partner. Moot point.
    • Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.  
    • I mean I agree about diminished Cam probably still being viable. Even though it gave a preview of how teams would defend the pass against a limited QB. There was an issue with the upcoming contract he was due to get and his expectations vs the new reality of his physical status - that people tend to  overlook when looking back on it  It had an effect on things I believe   But I do have to ask… what about Tepper’s second major move? fuging clueless   I mean I would take even an injured  Cam over Bryce all day long.
