Historically, we never get much from rookies....Michel is the only rookie that has really contributed right off the bat in YEARS...or at least that I can remember.
And we are almost definitely loading up on receivers again....and rookie receivers just don't contribute right off the bat...so I think we go the veteran route there (e.g. Golden Tate).....any young receivers in years 4/5 that have underachieved?
John RossYup, it's why I asked if there are any 3rd/4th/5th year receivers still on their rookie contracts on those teams with new HC's?
Can't think of any right off the top of my head.....
Here's another name to watch out for.. who apparently was close to be traded this season. 2016 NFL Draft Profile: Karl Joseph
Former Team Captain = Patriot Dog Whistle
or 2016 NFL Draft Profile: Kenny Clark
2017 NFL Draft Profile: Solomon Thomas
Thomas has been a disappointment as an EDGE rusher in the first two years of his career. He was universally regarded as a top 3-5 talent in the draft & was a stud rushing inside in college. He also hasn’t had an easy go at it in his personal life that could be impacting his on field play.
I’m not sure the 49ers would give up on him after two years but there is little doubt BB would make much better use of a player with his skill set. The Pats & the 49ers under Lynch have been busy with trades recently.
Stork
JC Jackson
Mason
Malcom Brown
Ryan
Collins
Etc etc
The idea that rookies don’t start or contribute heavily is ridiculous. There’s 1-3 every year. Fewer then on some other teams, and some guys do get worked in slowly, but plenty of them have been 8-16 game starters as rookies or key role players
Do you only consider skilled positions? Because we have gotten plenty out of rookies on the O line over the past several years with last year being an exception.

How about a guy named Malcolm Butler?I don't believe BB has a "fixed strategy" per se....it is just us looking under all rocks for value anywhere.

Well according to Lombardi Michael Belichick targets first year head coaches so I would look at Kingsbury Cardinals
Taylor Bengals
Packers
These will be some of the rosters BB will slice thru like a cheetah taking the tripping gazelle.

I’d love to see him here. I’m not sure he really fitted that 49ers scheme unless it’s changed during the season.
Would we give a 3rd up for him?

Jones, Hightower, Thuney, Mitchell, Jackson, Andrews, Roberts, and others all contributed as starters or key rotational players during their rookie seasons.I don't believe BB has a "fixed strategy" per se....it is just us looking under all rocks for value anywhere.

I don't think they would trade him unfortunately but I wouldn't hesitate to give a second.
