That's the problem. He actually has to catch the ball before he can start running. He fails to complete the basic aspect of being a receiver, which is catching the ball. 

I don't think it says anything about the fanbase wanting to give up on first and second round selections. I think it says way more about the front office who made those bad picks to begin with. People wouldn't be clamoring to get rid of those players if they actually produced on the field.

Shenault had no drop issues in his rookie year. 

In year 2 he switched to a new QB with boatloads more velocity and the worst coaching disaster the NFL has probably ever seen. He regressed as a "pass catcher." 

I'd absolutely, without any hesitation, give the kid year 3 to get back on track with a proper staff, playbook, and game-planning. 
His versatility out of the backfield given a banged up RB room make it even more of a no-brainer for me.

Put me on the record with the opinion we'll probably regret trading this kid if he goes to a good system like the chefs.

You can put me on that record as well. We will 100% regret it if we trade him.

On another note though, most of us assume they'll add another WR somewhere in the first 3 rounds of the draft. What if Baalke and Pederson think the WR is set for the most part and don't draft one until the 5th round or later? What if they don't draft one at all? Are we all mentally prepared for something like that to happen? lol
