Bosa + AJ Brown in the first two rounds, not bad at all.

Gotta be a Safety at 36. That's the final piece of the Tesseract.

The photo above was taken when Uncle Jerry was a Raider, but by then, Jordan was a 49er fan, and that never changed.

Like many of you, I wanted this guy in red and gold a long time ago. I haven't seen the contract details, but I assume it's not a big contract, given his low production the last couple seasons. If he is healthy and can replicate his early production with the Eagles, this could be a big deal. Fingers crossed.

I was a fan of him coming into the draft....that said I'll be shock if he makes the final roster. lower leg injuries for yrs.

No he's not. Has played roughly 65-70% of his career snaps from the slot. That is where you want him at to get the most out of him.

I know Chip used him in the slot a lot. PHI used him on the outside last season quite often. I'm watching his catches from 2018. I think he is Bourne's competition for a roster spot.

I agree with this. Slot competition is already pretty intense:

James vs Taylor

I have a feeling the slot snaps are going to disappear quite a bit for Taylor/James. Those are going to be eaten up with Kittle and 4 active RB's esp. Coleman.

"He's one of those blue collar workers that's going to get in there and grind. He's going to make those difficult catches and I'm sure he's excited about his opportunity here in San Francisco."

I was also looking at this guy out of college. He hasn't really lived up to his potential but maybe being on a team he grew up liking with a dynamic play caller like Kyle will bring the best out of him. He had a hamstring injury that got him released from NE before the Eagles picked him up. Some are concerned with the injury history but isn't every player one hit away from getting hurt. Every player gets hurt eventually.

Really wow. I was hoping he was finally past a lot of that :(.

It may just be the nature of the position. Big WR going over the middle making tough catches, he's going to get banged.

He's fearless across the middle. Catches deep slants with no hesitation, knowing a safety is coming downhill to put on a lick. Pops back up and gives the first down gesture.
