Greg Cosell on 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling: “I spoke to an offensive coach who has been in this league for 35 years and he likes Stribling more than Makai Lemon.” I'm guessing that coach was Andy Reid, what say you?
Bucky Brooks said a team in the AFC South was very interested in drafting De’Zhaun Stribling and says he wasn’t going to last far beyond pick 33 if the 49ers didn’t draft him.
What do you think, can he beat out Kirk for WR3?
I think he'll be on the field for certain packages, and otherwise part of the rotation. But I think the top 3 will be Evans, Pearsall and Kirk when everyone is healthy.
ReplyDeleteYou see him in the big slot while Evans and Pearsall create some space for him early on?
DeleteYep, that's where I see them using him. And some 2 WR sets where he is aligned close to the end of the line.
DeleteBreer says the Titans would’ve considered 49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling at 34 if they didn’t take Carnell Tate at 4:
ReplyDelete“So let's say in an alternate reality, the Titans take, the Titans take Arvel Reese or Sonny Stiles if we're not Cardinal Tate, right? And let's say because of that, they don't trade up from whatever it was, 34 to 31, okay? Stribling would have been squarely and played for them at 34.
I've also talked to other teams that I think if I divulge what teams those were and who those coaches were, I think a lot of people would be like, whoa, like they really liked them too. So, like you learn those and I learned that stuff over like the couple of days before the draft.”
Some current 49ers WRs will get their walking papers. The question is who, and which one(s) currently qualify to be the first out the door?
ReplyDeleteI'd say Robinson is on the bubble for sure.
DeleteCosell was also effusive about Black. Better runner than James, no question. That’s a quote. Was his third or fourth best RB.
