If they are truly keeping BA this year I see no reason to draft a wide receiver in the first round. From what Kyle demands of his wide receivers it would basically be a redshirt year and we are getting little if any contribution from the first round pick. They can take one later or even double up to prepare for the eventual departure of Deebo or BA. For a team in the bottom of pass attempts a 1st would be to much investment in the position in my opinion. It would be different if we didn't have other needs. Personally my preference would be a top CB if one's there or if one of the top Tackles slips to us.
Iagree with all of the above. There just isn't enough passing to justify this.
You draft where the talent is. This draft is fairly loaded at wide receiver and they've already lost some. Right now their WR room looks like Aiyuk, Samuel, Jennings, Taylor, Bell and Conley. If there's any injury issues during the season then suddenly that's a pretty damn thin WR room overall. If Aiyuk misses any time for whatever reason then they are especially screwed.
