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.

I don't think we have any speed receivers or possession receivers as it stands now. At least not good ones. Personally, if it were me, I draft 2 outside speed receivers and one big possession receiver. The only receiver we have now that I would consider a lock to be a starter, is Christian Kirk. Laviska Shenault and Marvin Jones should be gone. They did nothing last season to prove they belong here.
