We need a big WR to go against the Seahawks? Oh ok, yea that's the problem

 I am not of that opinion. Posted before the way to beat Seattle is with speed. Attack those cover 3 zones with verticals and flood routes with multiple receivers. Going against size with size is like banging your head against a brick wall, but you never know what the 49ers are thinking. Maybe they do like the idea of going big.

When did bowman get off the crutches?

 

[red80]

He's been off for a while. Maybe a month? I don't think he was using them for very long. Dude is a beast! Will be back sooner than expected.

 

[lightweight champion]

He's not human. We're not made from the same cloth.

 

[lb510]

I said the exact same thing numerous times this offseason.  Well, not about the verticals and flood routes with multiple WRs, but that we dont need a big physical WR to go at Seattle.  If you look at what WRs had a ton of success against them the past couple seasons, it hasnt been the big Larry Fitz type receivers that do well against them.....its the shifty, Wes Welker type dudes that they have a hard time with.

Seeing as how we are basically trying to add pieces to our team that will ultimately help us beat Seattle, I too am not of the opinion that we need a big WR.

Brandin Cooks showing how to beat press coverage vs a 6'3 cornerback(keith mcgill) with that wiggle jab step at the line. 

 Cooks in the 1st, Landry in the 3rd. We'd be set for the future with those two. Niners could trade up like they did last year to grab Cooks and still have 2 2nds, 2 3rds left over and all the other late picks left. 

 

[bentrill]

@sammywatkins: I truly think a team going to jump up n grab me who it may be i know

I would take cooks and landry over watkins. 

 

[49ersaaron8]

Brandin Cooks or Odell Beckham for me in the 1st. Both 2nds spent on the secondary and Landry in the 3rd would be breathtaking

I agree with both posts above.

Dont know why the GIF came out so huge but good lord Brandin Cooks

 

[49ersaaron8]

Dude has wheels

Ooooooooo buddy my dawg kap looking beefy. Anyone got a status on Crabtree he needs to do his thing this year

 

[ii flash ii]

Yup that's why I say if we move up it better be Watkins... Or we move up to the teens and grab Cooks... No reason to give the bank and get Evans Dude is not agile at all

 

[red80]

I know many people dont watch college football here so here's a little bit about my personal favorite WR in the entire draft: Jarvis Landry. If you like Q you'll love Landry. The best set of hands in the entire draft and there isn't a wide receiver more gritty and tougher than Jarvis Landry. Hoping we grab him somewhere in the late 2nd/3rd. A future core of Cooks/OBjr, Landry and Patton? Sign me up. 

 [h1]Another Anquan? LSU’s Landry shares plenty in common with Boldin[/h1]

The 49ers probably won’t have 33-year-old Anquan Boldin for much longer, but they could grab his apparent clone in May.

It remains to be seen if LSU wide receiver Jarvis Landry can approach Boldin’s NFL production, but the run-up to his pro career has plenty of similarities.

“He is so reminiscent of Anquan Boldin coming out of Florida State,” said Louisiana-based draft analyst Mike Detillier, who saw each of Landry’s college games as a member of LSU’s radio network. “Anquan could not have a son or a brother that was closer to him athletically than Jarvin Landry.”

Consider:

* Boldin “performed terribly”  at the 2003 combine, running a 4.72-second 40-yard dash. That time was the slowest among the 23 wide receivers that ran. Boldin ran a 4.59 at his pro day. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2003/draft/players/6726.html)

* Landry had an “awful”  performance at the combine, running a 4.65-second 40-yard dash. That time was the slowest among the 48 receivers that ran. Landry ran a 4.51 at his pro day.

* Boldin, who measured 6-0 ½ and 216 pounds, lacks ideal height.

* Landry, who measured 5-11 ½ and 205 pounds, lacks ideal height.



* Before declaring early for the draft, Boldin had huge production against elite competition in his final college season. The numbers: 65 catches, 1,011 yards, 13 touchdowns.

* Before declaring early for the NFL draft, Landry had huge production against elite competition in his final college season. The numbers: 77 catches, 1,193 yards, 10 touchdowns.

* Partly based on his combine performance, Boldin slipped to the second round. He was the No. 54 pick in 2003.

* Partly based on his combine performance, Landry is expected to be second-round pick. In his latest mock draft, ESPN’s Mel Kiper has Landry being selected No. 59 overall.

It’s possible Landry, who is also an eager and capable downfield blocker (sound familiar?), could still be available when the 49ers use their two second-round picks, No. 56 and 61. They also have the No. 30 pick, but it’s no certainty they will use it on a wideout: Cornerback is a possibility, as is a pass-rushing outside linebacker given Aldon Smith’s latest arrest and muddled long-term future with the team.

Because of his speed, Landry lacks the sizzle of some of the slam-dunk first-rounders in what’s viewed as a potentially historically deep wide receivers class. That group that includes his electric LSU teammate, Odell Beckham Jr.

As a possession receiver, however, he could fill a future void for the 49ers. Boldin, who will turn 34 in October is signed through 2015 and Michael Crabtree is entering the final year of his contract.

In February, before the combine, NFL network analyst Mike Mayock said he would “sprint to the podium” if Landry was available early in the second round. In his latest position rankings – released after the combine – Mayock ranks Landry fifth among wideouts, tied with presumptive first-rounders in Beckham and Florida State’s Kelvin Benjamin.

“One of my favorite players in the draft is Jarvis Landry,” Mayock said before the combine. “And when I look at those two (LSU) wide receivers, Landry, to me, with his toughness and ability to play inside or outside reminds me a little bit of (former Steelers WR) Hines Ward. He’s one of the physically toughest players in this draft, for any position. He catches everything. He’s the kind of guy I’d like to have as a teammate.”

Toughness? Perhaps Landry’s first highlight play at LSU came on special teams. As a freshman, he put a huge hit on Auburn kickoff returner Antonio McCalebb. The high-decibel impact, Detillier said, made it sound as if Landry was “wielding a metal bat.”

Detillier even saw some of Landry’s games at perennially powerful Lutcher (La.) High, where his cousin, Tim Detillier, is the longtime head coach. Detillier said his cousin won’t engage in the-best-player-he’s-coached discussions, but does acknowledge Landry is tops in one area that, again, echoes Boldin.

“The one thing he would tell me: He said ‘Jarvis is the most competitive person I’ve ever been around. There is no one that will outwork him and outhustle him at anything,’” Detillier said. “And I saw plenty of that. He is fearless coming across the middle and he really is as competitive a guy as you will ever see.

“Now is he 6-3? No. Is he a guy I want anchoring my 4×400 relay team. No. But on 4th-and-7 he’s the guy I want to throw the football to because he’ll get eight yards. Like Boldin, he doesn’t test through the roof. Who cares? He’s just a tremendous football player.”

Whats most impressive about that Cooks .gif is the speed he had to maintain that separation from the DB after all the broken and missed tackles.

 

[Final Bosa]
