Christian Watson-WR-NDSU

I like what I'm reading and seeing, but still, the draft capital. I think Jimmy will be the key to us being able to land Watson.

Everyone knows we want to pair him with Lance. Someone who wants him may jump ahead of us. Might need to take him with our first pick to catch everyone off guard.

I wasn't as excited about the draft this year with no 1st and a low 2nd. I didn't watch much college football. Then I started looking into prospects and there are always some good talk on here. I was focused on the senior bowl practices and all the players. I know we need CB and OL most. There's FA though and we will be adding comp picks and picks for Jimmy. We really need depth at WR still. I've always wanted that tall fast guy on the outside. It's more important going to Lance. He can make plays down the field even if covered.
Watson looks like the perfect fit having played with Lance. He can block and play special teams. It's would help Lance tremendously.
He's become my draft crush already. We hopefully will get a 2nd for Jimmy and use it on Watson.
I hope he runs around a 4.5 to not rise too much out of our reach.

Niners met with him at the combine

True 6'4" with >10" hands

11' 4" Broad and 38.5" vert yeah he's explosive and more than likely getting drafted before we pick lol

Wow. He can jump! Thats got mean something.

As much as I'd love to have Watson to pair up with Lance, I believe he's out of reach now and the Niners don't need to trade up for a WR4. Imo, WR3 is J.Jennings job to lose, he earned it and he won't just lay down and give it up to a rook.

Welp would have nice but he gone.
