Below are some other names I'll throw out there that offer late value in RD4 and beyond.

Malachi Carter & Dai'Jean Dixon. They're on the taller side of the WR class. Would probably fit well in situational downs.

These are a few more guys that I really like late that I think could offer some value.

Danny Gray out of SMU & Kevin Austin Jr. out of Notre Dame. I really like those two. Good size/speed ratios.

Pierce at 65/70 is the only one of the first 7 that I would be happy with. Maybe I shouldn't say that I don't have a good enough feel for Tolbert to say either way.

Austin is one of my favorite day 3 picks, but I don't think he's going to last til round 6 he has a decent amount of hype. I think we'd have to take him at 157 or maybe even 106, which I still wouldn't hate at all. I think Westin in round 6 would be an awesome pick too if he's still around.

I really think that's why they went out and signed Kirk and Jones to the deals that they signed them up for. They must have had some kind of input or evaluation with a vote of confidence from Pederson to make them suitable in his RPO system.

There's going to be a run at the position on opening night. It's unavoidable at this point. Too many WR needy teams with plenty of picks in RD1 at their disposal. I think we might see 6 - 7 taken on the opening night. Which would probably tie or set a new record I think.

I think, if they're going to add a WR. It's probably going to be in RD3 with picks 65 and 70. If I had to bet. These would be the receivers on my radar during the weekend of the draft. Just based on what we currently have at the position and what we're missing at the position. When you look at Pederson's offense during his five year stint in Philadelphia.

He's clearly missing a tall, go up and get it in a 50/50 contest receiver at the moment. Based on size, the perceived draft stock, I think this is realistic at the moment.

Danny Gray out of SMU & Kevin Austin Jr. out of Notre Dame. I really like those two. Good size/speed ratios. They have limited experience coming out of college but they both had pretty productive years last season and had some nice highlight reels to them. Would be happy with either one of them if they can manage to slip into RD6 if Baalke sits on all four of those selections.

I think Burks goes in round 1. No way I'm taking Pickens and #33 is just too high for Watson. 

I'm a huge fan of Bell at #65 or #70. Yes, he lacks speed, but he is one of the top route runners in this draft and he has excellent hands. I'm a big believer that you don't have to be a speed burner to be a great WR. Gimme a WR who can consistently get open and make tough catches. That is who Bell is. Ross may not even get drafted. With his injury history and absolutely miserable Pro Day, he should be a 6th round pick at best. Jalen Tolbert and Alec Pierce would both be solid picks with either of our 3rd rounders. 

I'll be honest, I have no clue who Malachi Carter is, but I'm a huge fan of Dai'jean Dixon. He is a big possession receiver with very good hands and route running abilities. I saw him play in the NFLPA game and he was definitely a standout receiver.

Danny Gray and Kevin Austin Jr. are two other guys I like late in the draft. If you want speed guys, these are the guys you want. Gray is an excellent run after the catch type player and Austin is a big play threat every time he touches the ball. Neither will "wow" you with their route running, but they use their speed to create separation. If either is still on the board in the 6th, I'd run to the podium and select them. Maybe even the 5th round, depending on how the board falls.

Agreed and Agreed. I think Baalke needs to try and wheel and deal those sixth round picks. Get something better out of them if at all possible. Will be disappointed if he ultimately uses all of those. 

Package up three of them if it means getting back into RD4. Just make sure you're landing a quality player that's going to be able to contribute.
