Ohh...

TBH, I thought they would go CB or C. Frazier and the kid from Oregon was still on the board. 

 

Even still, Cooper Dejean was available. This kid was ranked 8th on PFF's draft board and is literally exactly what you want at CB if you run a heavy zone scheme like Evero runs. 

Really looks like they are just trying to mimic DK Metcalf from Seattle's offense with the Legette selection.

Well I guess they just did the swap of the 5th and 6th to get the 5th te option. 5th and 6th rd are crapshoots so it seems fine. Legette scares the heck out of me with his bust potential. I was hoping for McDonkey there because I think there’s no way he fails even if his upside isn’t as high, but I guess they felt his skill set was redundant with Dionte Johnson on the roster. One thing is that Legette definitely stretched the field more in college and that is something we needed.

AD was there. 

Yea, I thought he was clearly the better WR, but he doesn't talk country...

Praying that Frazier is there at 39, but it seems obvious with all the talent on the board that we are trading down to get that 5th back

I mean, why? Someone was trading ahead of us for Legette? 

The only real reason was to get the 5th yr option.

I've read numerous times that mid to late 4th round the talent falls off a cliff.

He big, he fast. Hopefully he continues to develop.

The trade itself is obviously worth it if he pans out. Receivers are so expensive to resign.

He looks like Moose....

I just wished we would have picked a player that we may actually extend the 5th year to.  XL is a boom or bust prospect.  I fear he will be the later.

Will Panthers do a mini PC tonight

Bills did us the favor.

It is Morgan's buddies that did it. I personally doubt they had anything nefarious in mind working the deal.

[CPantherKing]

Blown away by the 49ers knowing their WRs & watching again as the Panthers show they have no clue on how to pick WRs.

Marshall, Mingo & Legette... tired of this nonsense. None of them pair well with Young's game style. Clearly Fitterer rubbed off on Morgan. You don't trade up for these WRs. You trade down to gain draft capital & take these projects if they are still there. Hope I'm wrong like I hoped with Marshall & Mingo.

[Mother Grabber]

if the coaching staff can teach him to fight for the ball, he’ll be a great addition for us. just keep him away from the all you can eat buffet!

[cookinbrak]

They jumped one spot because everybody knows/thinks Buffalo is taking a WR. They didn't want to risk it.

We trade a high 5 for a low 6. No biggie.
