People are overreacting to the Ricky Pearsall pick, this doesn't mean Aiyuk is gone, Deebo either, they need someone to be their WR3 next year, as they won't have Jauan next year, IMO he'll command in the $15M a yr range, plus Danny Gray sucks, hasn't played more than what seems like a handful of snaps & games, and Ronnie Bell is ok, but I wouldn't be ok with him as WR3 or as a Return Man, & Trent Taylor & Chris Conley are 1yr guys, not future, so the 49ers needed to get a WR in this draft IMO, I would have liked a CB with the fact that only Luter & Womack are signed past 2024, Mooney, Lenoir, Yiadom, & Ya-Sin are all UFAs after 2024.
Using a 1st-round pick for WR3 on a team that plays primarily 21 personnel(which means only 2 WRs on the field for the majority of their total offensive snaps) is a terrible move. I think this definitely signals that BA or Deebo is gone, and I'm starting to think it's Deebo.
Adding onto this, maybe Shanny's belief in Purdy is facilitating a transition from a 21 personnel team to an 11 personnel offense with 3 WRs as the primary personnel. That would make more sense if they plan to keep all of their WRs. Plus, Juice is old and likely playing his last season. It might be time to get cheap at that spot and reduce it's significance in the offense.
