What wide receivers would you want the 49ers to consider for Day 2

Day 2 of the 2019 NFL draft begins today, the 49ers might need a wide receiver

Maybe I’m alone on this, but when the New England Patriots were announced to have N’Keal Harry as the 32nd pick, my heart dropped. Harry would have fit well on the San Francisco 49ers if they took him with the 36th pick in the second round.

So now what do they do?

There’s a lot of wide receiver talent. Only two players of the position were drafted on Thursday evening. That leaves A.J. Brown (Ole Miss), Deebo Samuel (South Carolina), and Hakeem Butler (Iowa State) as the top wide receivers on the draft board.

You might be wondering of all the wide receivers I listed above, why I’m omitting Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf. Well, that’s easy, Metcalf didn’t impress in his interview with the 49ers and probably won’t make to a 49ers locker room. Now, if that’s a smoke screen is left to be determined, but he’s not looking like he’s in consideration.

A.J. Brown could be the fan favorite. He was recently filmed with 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice AKA The GOAT running the hill. If you think that isn’t noteworthy, you don’t know who has not ran the hill with rice.

Deebo Samuel made a name for himself at the 2019 Senior Bowl. The issue with him is his 5 foot, 11 height. The 49ers need a big-bodied wide receiver and while Samuel got quality time with Kyle Shanahan, his stature may not mesh well.

Then there’s Hakeem Butler. He’s been all over boards, but he might not even be a factor until Day 3 if the 49ers are interested. His six foot, five inches height makes him the big-bodied receiver the 49ers need if not for the fact he’s far back on draft boards.

The 49ers have some decisions to make if they go wide receiver, who should they look at: one of the above names, or someone else entirely?
