Ross must not be healthy then, because he had a miserable pro day. He only ran a 4.64/40 and could only manage a 31.5" vertical. Those are LB numbers. He's toast. There are way, way, way better WR prospects in this draft than Ross or Pickens.

It makes no sense to me to draft a WR that isn't better than the ones you already have.  Specifically, we need a speed guy that can play on the outside, preferably a tall one.  We don't need another possession receiver.  If they draft one of these slower possession type guys, that tells me that Shenault and/or Marvin are gone.  Shenault is the one likely to be traded, imo.  And they may be looking to save Marvin's salary.  But i think that's less likely.

Just draft a fast X, man.  And don't get cute with it.  I think that's what I fear most.  Baalke thinking he's the smartest guy in the room and drafting guys based on traits that he likes to project.  Just find the guys with proven performance AND the traits/combine stats that match.  Don't overthink it.
