Hurd is quicker. He ran like a 7.0 3-cone which is good for a 6-5 225 WR. He was a top recruit as a RB which requires good footwork and vision.

Where did you hear Hurd ran a 7.0 3-cone?
He didn't run the 3-cone at the combine or pro day.
NFL.com says this: "Leggy with below-average short-area quickness"

He did run a slow 40 and a slow 10 yd split at his pro day:
40 Yard Dash: 4.64 seconds
10 Yard Split: 1.62 seconds

Hurd seems to be a reach ... he was projected in the ~5th rd
49ers should have picked Maxx Crosby (who I loved)
or traded up for DK Metcalf who was selected 3 picks before Hurd

He was just coming back from a knee injury for his pro-day.

He squatted more than 500 pounds, and his vertical jump was 40 inches (this year's NFL combine-best was 41.5). His 40 time was consistently in the 4.4 range, and his 20-yard shuttle—the one combine test scouts say is a critical predictor for skill players' change of direction and explosion—was 3.8 and 3.9 (the recent best is 3.81 in 2006).

"Wait, don't put that in the story because we'll look stupid," Cooper says.

But he ran 3.8?

"He absolutely did," Cooper says.

Thoughts?

Future = HOF

We lost Celek and Toilolo, I'm thinking this is the guy at 31. We met with him at the combine and he's the George Kittle of WRs.

I'd say DT, IOL or trade down is the far more likely scenarios.

Taking a DT makes no sense. We already had a huge logjam at that position. Replacing Buck's production won't be hard. Thomas, Blair, Jones etc will get 8 sacks just from the lack of attention on them and cleaning up after Bosa, Ford, and Armstead.

If Claypool is their top WR/TE choice then it makes more sense to move back from 13. Youll get more from moving 13 to 20-something than from moving 31 to 40 something.

Under no circumstances should Claypool be the top target.

Reasoning? He's basically this year's DK Metcalf.

And that's not what Kyle wants in his offense.

Clearly it is if they interviewed him at the combine

I don't think either of those guys being gone has much bearing as to whether or not they draft Claypool. Toilolo is a huge blocking TE, basically an undersized tackle. Celek is a traditional TE that was a jack of all trades as a receiver and blocker. They also drafted Kaden Smith last year who was a lot closer to Celek in terms of skillset. I think any TE they bring in will be first and foremost a premier blocker.

They met with DK last year at the combine, due diligence must be done.

The losses of Toilolo and Celek means we will likely look to add a blocking TE. We will probably look to FA to find one on the cheap.

I think we already have this guy on our team and his name is Jalen Hurd. Would much rather have Justin Jefferson.

And in what world is Claypool the next DK lol

A funkier option would be Les Claypool
