@SulligentHUB I get that I guess should have asked if you think he has the requisite ability to do so

I'm not too hung up things like that, right now. He has potential to. If he develops as a route runner and sinking his hips, sky is the limit. Will he? I don't know. For this season, he doesn't have to. We have man-cov guys. Pearsall has been good, Evans is HOF, Kittle and CMC are real tough matchups and will be harder to deal with because of Evans and hopefully a healthy Ricky.

I talked about Stribling being underdeveloped as a route runner. Here's an example. Aiyuk and Stribling running a tree route. This is from Stribling's 2024 tape. Aiyuk sinks his hips just a tad more and get more burst out of his cut and is therefore able to stay a little flatter, giving the corner less makeup space. The Tree route Stribling runs gives an NFL corner more real estate to make a play on it. What do you see between these @CoachCrocky

@JL_Chapman Can you do a full film review on stribling?

Witness pure athleticism! D'Zhaun Stribling turns a simple hitch route into a 70+ yard touchdown, dusting defenders with elite speed. This is the play that defines his upside. #CFB #49ers #DezhaunStribling #Athleticism

@49ers_guy Any idea what they might be looking at?

@nothing1235455 I’ve not heard any love for lomu which either means they don’t like him or they absolutely love him and want no one to know 😂

Draft Eve Update: 49ers don’t love the value with the options they project to be there at pick 27 and have made calls to assess moving up into the late teens. If that doesn’t work out, they’ll look for options to trade out of the 1st round entirely.

@VicTafur How do they feel about Watkins and cowing could one of them be the future 2 behind Ricky

It was a little under the radar, but the 49ers’ brass was sorry to see WR Skyy Moore leave in free agency for the Packers. He was their best kick returner in some time, and Shanahan was looking forward to getting him more involved in the passing game after Moore was a late arrival via trade last season ...

@PapaStew80 @jonnydels Could say something more along the lines of “we’re considering all possibilities” or something like that

@nothing1235455 @jonnydels Do you expect him to say “yep that’s our target”?

I am now convinced more than ever that the 49ers will use pick 27 at either EDGE or WR. That's where the biggest cap savings are. Top 3 paid positions in the NFL: QB, EDGE, WR. I'm leaning towards receiver.

@LeoRWong @jonnydels @LeoTheLess Pcl maybe? And he probably needs to get stronger. But jsn wasn’t always jsn so maybe Pearsall takes the step and I think he can.

@jonnydels @nothing1235455 @LeoTheLess JSN 30.5 inches, I saw someplace, but I think jonnydels is right about what the Niners want. Why could Piersall not get free in the last Seattle game?

This is far less about Ricky and much more about Jacob Cowing missing an entire year after a hamstring in training camp and then reaggravating it for the entire season. Ricky plays more Z than Slot. DeMarcus Robinson played more slot than Ricky. They need speed from the slot early to push safeties deep down the hashes.

@LeoTheLess @jonnydels I feel like if Ricky gets stronger he can play x kinda like jsn

@jonnydels @nothing1235455 Thank you!
