The 49ers tout a young receiving corps for an expected transition to quarterback Trey Lance, and the draft should yield more.
SANTA CLARA — Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings emerged as the 49ers’ triplets last season, in terms of their wide receivers.An overlooked aspect to the 49ers’ 2021 draft class is that no wide receivers were in it.
This is not about Samuel’s uncertain fate regarding a contract extension, unless an impasse yields a franchise-rattling, mind-boggling trade that skyrockets the need to replace him. The 49ers need depth. They need speed. They need youth to develop alongside Lance – otherwise they should have traded for the big-ticket veterans like Davante Adams or Tyreek Hill.
Wide receivers appear plentiful in this month’s NFL draft, which really should be the case in every future draft the way college football’s spread offenses are grooming stars for the NFL’s pass-happy rules.Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Ray-Ray McCloud, Marcus Johnson, Malik Turner, Austin Mack, Connor Wedington, KeeSean Johnson.
