Michael Pittman Jr. WR USC

No there isn't. There is barely any drop-off from Jeudy to Jefferson who is bigger, has longer arms, and tested as a better athlete. Then there are guys like Aiyuk, Higgins, Mims, Reagor, Hamler, and Pittman who can all contribute (plus Shenault if he's healthy). There are plenty of options at WR who can help out right away and there's a very good chance that one of the guys picked in the second round in this draft outperforms the top WR selected. In a draft this deep at WR, you can get a better value in the 2nd or 3rd round than at 13.

Depending on who is available at 13, we may be forced to go WR but telling people to stop liking other prospects because there is a severe drop-off is ridiculous.

I'm not sure there's a more Shanahan guy in the entire draft than Michael Pittman. He quite literally checks every one of this regime's boxes. Pittman meets all of Shanahan's athletic thresholds for vertical, 3-cone and short shuttle. He has the highest Wonderlic score of all WRs in the 2020 draft, was voted captain by his peers, and by all accounts is an incredibly hard worker and high character individual. Pittman gives the 49ers an element of a big body who runs great routes, catches everything, and blocks his ass off.

This quote is from my mock in the subsection. I think Pittman is the 49ers' top guy at WR. He literally checks every one of their boxes, which is incredibly rare. I'll admit I let my dislike for his YouTuber stuff cloud my appreciation for his game, but he is a hell of a prospect and incredible value.
