In truth, no fan base is satisfied with their OL, and OL talent across the league is on average weaker than DL talent. A product of weak OL play in the college game for 20-25 years now.

They have the opportunity to address it with several remaining OL prospects. They could go in like Carolina did by trading a future pick from 2023 to add an early 4th tomorrow. Its still possible to address guard and center if they are really intent on doing so.

This guy was drafted for Trey Lance. We had speedsters before like Travis Benjamin and Marquise Goodwin, but when you have Grap throwing to them, its wasted. He can't get the velocity on the ball to these guys speeding down the side. Lance is going to hit them 40 yards downfield while yawning. Gray will really be able to benefit from Trey's arm strength. A match up nightmare for opposing defenses.

You think Gray can beat the press consistently at the NFL level?

Have you seen him play?

thats not why we drafted him though hes a field stretcher who can make an impact by touching the ball 2-3 times a game.

Aiyuk would've gone off a few games if Jimmy could throw the damn deep ball as well. This offense can resemble like 16' ATL with the down field throws

In order to stretch the field he will first need to beat press coverage.

If you're implying that he's too small, don't forget we have Kyle Shanahan to solve the press coverage problem

NFL Pick 'em

Finally we have a legitimate burner that can play wr. This is a great pick and will cause problems for every team we face. Trey can actually deliver deep balls

Or balls deep

Love this pick. Wanted to add a deep threat and we truly did. Still 6 picks to address DB and OL. We should be living in that space in the next 2 rounds.
