Hakeem Butler-WR-Iowa State

It would be nice if we finally added a larger WR, I know it's not all about height but would be nice to have another body whose physical tools can help us out in the redzone.

Intriguing guy, no doubt. Hard to know what Coach is specifically looking for at WR position...we all know he loves speed and size, this kid might fill that bill. I don't see them taking him in the 2nd rd, though. If he's still on the board in the 3rd and JL doesn't pull the trigger on Samuel, let's say, in the 2nd rd, I'd say he could be a target. Having two "bigs" in the WR corps could be music to not only Coach's but Jimmy's ears.

Why can't they get butler in the 2nd? I'm confused

IMO SF is clearly invested in this WR class, much more so then OL.

They have been very active bringing in guys and signing depth or camp guys. At least they're not just sitting around waiting for the draft. They're interviewing multiple guys at positions of interest in case their target is gone when their turn comes up. Let's hope all this due diligence will pay off.

Yeah they haven't brought in one lineman and a butt load of WRs. I think we can assume (hopefully) they're gonna go WR early

Risner, Butler, AJ Brown, Harry, Hollywood.

Get one of those and I'm good.

love me some Risner. I don't think he falls out of the first rd or get's past AZ top of the 2nd

i meant to say.. if we get bosa in the first round... i would love butler in the second round.. however with our glaring need for a guard and given its a good draft for wide outs..... if a can not miss very very guard is there at 2.... i think i would take him and not butler. i hate myself for saying it but i am really worried about our line

I don't think SF will be going guard high at all. They have both starters already. Both are being paid...are they top 5 OGs? Of course not better QB play and having a guy like Butler on the outside will help that OL imo.

I like Alex Bars on day 3 at OG.

Really like his potential. It's like once he's moving, he's basically open.

I can't possibly imagine them going for a guard any higher than 4th round; seems more likely in 6th round. First four rounds should be Bosa, WR, Secondary, and BPA in fourth.

They got decent production out of Person and Tomlinson last year. Not world beaters but the unit as a whole seemed more improved than 2017 and early in 2018. Richburg is more the guy who needs to step up.

I also wont't be surprised if they trade for more picks or a veteran somewhere along the way.
