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

If we cannot get one of the top WR's (London, Williams, Olave, Wilson or Dotson) then it might be wise to wait until round 5 to get one or two. Personally, I draft no less than 2 WR's. I really don't see a lot of difference between the WR's who might get selected in round 2 and the one's that will probably be picked in rounds 5 or later. Maybe we target guys like Tyquan Thornton, Kevin Austin or Velus Jones in the later rounds. I'd be o.k. with that more than I would reaching for a guy like Pickens or Pierce in round 2. 

If we don't draft a receiver at all, then I will be tempted to fly to Jacksonville and punch Baalke in the face. There is no way we can go into next season with the receivers we have and expect Trevor Lawrence to make significant improvements. I am not prepared for this kind of incompetence. My head might explode!
