I suppose next you're going to say he's a possession receiver:

How much money has Graham Mertz’ absolutely awful throw earned this kid? :lol:

Congrats to RP. Great example of hard work and mastering your craft. Solid kid too from my brief interaction at last year’s spring game. Really happy to see him land in round 1.
there's something to be said about throwing a pass that your receiver can catch, even with difficulty, but no one else can.

and at least it's downfield. even if you throw an interception there's not much likelihood of a pick 6. it's essentially a shanked punt.

nothing's more dangerous than a two yard button route pass or a screen. pick six city. high risk low reward.

Has UF ever had a transfer that went in the first round? I'm probably stupidly forgetting someone obvious.

I had no idea Trace Armstrong was a transfer.

It's also odd that Arizona Freaking State had two transfers (Daniels and Pearsall) go in the first round.

49ers are struggling with what to do with Brandon Aiyuk. He’s due to get his pay out but there seems to be some behind the scenes stuff going on that’s not jiving with the two camps.

With Purdy, McCaffrey and Debo, Ricky is a fantastic addition.

Just read this:

According to San Francisco Chronicle’s Michael Silver, the 49ers are now more likely to trade Deebo Samuel than they are Brandon Aiyuk.

The 49ers were allegedly on the phone with a few teams before their first-round pick but were unable to complete a deal. Instead, the team took Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the 31st overall pick and appear to still be working the phones to find a taker for one of their veteran wide receivers. According to Silver, it seems more likely they will now be flipping Deebo than Aiyuk. Of course, this is all speculation at this point, and we have almost 20 hours to go until the draft kicks up for Day Two and we get some answers.

And this on Ricky:

49ers selected Florida WR Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Pearsall (6’1/189) began his career at Arizona State but didn’t see the field much until his third and final season as a Sun Devil. He went for 580 yards and four scores that year. He then transferred to Florida ahead of the 2022 season. Pearsall’s target share dipped in his first season in Gainesville, but he more than made up for that with absurd gains in his efficiency numbers. He averaged 2.41 yards per route run in 2022 and held steady at 2.23 in the following season. Pearsall peaked at 65 catches for 963 yards in his second and final season at Florida. A sudden player off the line of scrimmage, Pearsall does most of his damage before the catch point. He doesn’t bring much to the table after the catch but gets open quickly with crisp routes and neat footwork. Pearsall will be a plug-and-play slot receiver for San Francisco as a rookie. His addition will also fuel the flames of a potential Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel trade. Both players have reportedly come up in talks, though the fact that neither was moved on the first night of the draft suggests they will both be on the roster for the 2024 season.

Reggie f’n Nelson, 2007, 21st
Reggie was all Gator though. He was Gator enough to commit to The Zookie. He just couldnt work the crayons well enough to get into UF under the rules as they were then. Great Gator but not the brightest.
