Taking a look at who today’s draft picks impact on

the Niners roster"The San Francisco 49ers were always going to take a wide receiver. The team hosted 14 players at the position. What was a surprise was the team taking two receivers. Here are some winners and losers after Day 2 of the draft.Loser-Every receiver not named Dante PettisIt’s pretty clear that Kyle Shanahan was not happy with the production at receiver last year. You can isolate the play from the quarterback. Simply put Mike McGlinchey Jersey , it wasn’t good enough. The addition of Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd give the 49ers much needed versatility and a shot of athleticism at the wide receiver position.Winner-George KittleKittle needs help. He was great last year, but it’s ignorant to think teams won’t change how they play him in 2019. The 49ers are going to need guys that can win 1-on-1. That’s Samuel and Hurd. That’s why they were the picks. I imagine any competent defensive coordinator would double Kittle in the red zone. This is where the draft picks come into play. It might not be right away, but this move will make life a lot easier on Kittle, especially if the Samuel/Hurd combo is as good as we think they are with the ball in their hands. That will force defenses to bring more defenders closer to the line, giving Kittle room to work between the 20’s.Loser-Jerick McKinnonWe saw what McKinnon can do with the Minnesota Vikings. We got a glimpse in training camp last year, but McKinnon has to prove himself as a 49er. The selection of two guys that are known to be terrors when they have the ball in their hands will takeaway opportunities from a guy like McKinnon. Shanahan knows what Matt Brieda can do. He handpicked Tevin Coleman after working with him in Atlanta. If one person is going to lose out on touches in the backfield after tonight, it’s McKinnon.Winner-Jimmy GaroppoloMan, I would have loved to see Garoppolo’s face Friday night after the team drafted two offensive players. Not just any offensive players, but guys that will make life a lot easier on Garoppolo. If Shanahan is able to scheme either or open, Garoppolo will find them. While the 49ers have good athletes at receiver, they just drastically improved in regards to receivers being able to create for themselves. One thing that makes Tom Brady next level is his underneath accuracy. He hits players in stride and lets them do the work. Garoppolo should be able to pad his stats with these guys.

PDTShareTweetShareShare49ers’ wide receivers aren’t high on SI’s listThe San Francisco 49ers still have lots of things to fix with their roster in 2019, and one of the units that can use some help is the wide receivers. As a whole, the group hasn’t been awful, but its lack of a No. 1 target and injuries made things subpar for 2018. So subpar they aren’t that high up on rankings across the NFL.Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr ranked the unit’s situation as 26th in the NFL. When making this ranking, Orr put things like salary cap into consideration and rates them based on the overall situation—not sheer talent alone. He lists the top-4 salaries, which is why you won’t see Kendrick Bourne listed below. The problem with the wide receivers was durability. The 49ers can use a big-bodied wide receiver, especially with the loss of Pierre Garcon, but when healthy, the wide receiver group is a bit underrated. In front of the 49ers is the Arizona Cardinals, followed by the Tennessee Titans and the Carolina Panthers. Whether the 49ers are better or worse than any of those groups is up to you. Goodwin’s frequent absences hurt the team last year as he fought injuries and the loss of a pregnancy during the season. Dante Pettis also had his own injury issues, but when healthy he was a big contributor. Do you think the 49ers wide receivers should be in this rank?
