WR3 is a critical role but none of the wr listed above really excite me. Richie James one good game is a outlier to me. I won't be shocked if trade for a mid tier wr by the start of the season.
Shannahan's offense has, much more often than not, been weak in red zone. I think we finaly broke through last year by scoring some tds rather than always settling for field goals. I beieved his drafting of Hurd and then Jennings in back to back years, plus keeping Jordan Matthews around trying out was a recognition that taller recieving options would help us in red zone. I am pleased that we apparently have guys with size competing for a couple spots at wr now.
The fact that at least 4 of these guys will make the roster, and we will be relying on at least 2 of them to contribute in the passing game is very worrisome. And god forbid Deebo, Aiyuk, or Kittle get hurt. I know we're not going to have All-Pro backups everywhere, but I don't feel confident there's a single guy there who can replace the 667 yards Bourne took with him. Adding an upgrade at WR3 would go a very long way.

They must know something about Hurd that the rest of us don’t. That is an underwhelming list.
Great job as always!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Jalen Hurd. This is his career (or not) right now. And yeah, Kevin White.....
