Based on WRs not taken yet I'm pretty confident he'd be there at top of 3rd. My comment about 4th is because that's where I think he should be drafted. He's a WR/slot/PR/KR/RB kind of player. First 3 rounds need to excel at 1 position and translates that into a NFL starting role.

You're assuming that your rankings are correct. In reality, fans are mostly clueless on valuing players properly. You had many people here advocating for Metcalf to go in the early 1st. We're almost in the 3rd round and he and Butler are both still on the board.

My assessment is purely that he's not a defined X, Z, slot or special teamer. Generally speaking the first 3 rounds are dominated by single position players who have a chance to start at a similar role. Drafting tweeners, multi-position and depth happens in rounds 4 .

Bet ya he starts on our team sooner rather then later. Did you say the same thing last year about Pettis? Oh he's primarily a punt/kick returner and receiver second...

Yes I did, not to mention his slight frame and given his injuries last yet not sure why you're bringing him up here.

Lol because Pettis ended up being our second leading wide receiver in yards, tied for the team lead in receiving TDs (5) with Kittle and had the second best yards per reception (17.3) on our team last year (Celek topped him at 18 yards per reception due to him only having 5 catches). Pettis definitely showed some good potential just like I bet Deebo does despite your disdain for both of them.

Second best in a group that was completely underwhelming does not create bragging rights but if you wish, he was behind an hndrafted free agent. How many games did he miss? 27 catches over 12 games. Potential? Maybe but injuries are a concern.

My only concern is with Deebo is same as apparently every damn player we draft or sign- durability.

Great pick. Kyle is building what will be one of the most explosive offenses in the league. Like Pettis, Deebo runs good routes, has good hands, and can get yards after the catch. I like his blocking on the outside too. Welcome to SF Deebo!

LOL, he was a rookie that was touted more for his return skills then receiving skills. Despite this, he put up nearly 500 yards receiving, had the 17th best yard per catch average for wide receivers in the NFL during the regular season and did all this while only starting the last 7 games of the season. All with a third string QB

Also, maybe he got physically stronger and more durable as the season went on because his body was getting accustomed to being in an NFL weight and conditioning program as opposed to a college program.
