Drafting Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing could be the 49ers reacting to their Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.
Practically every mock draft and analyst penciled an offensive lineman to them. However, the 49ers went against the masses by going in a completely unexpected direction. They ended up drafting wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first-round with pick No. 31.
Clearly, they see it as a need, but why? They have Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings. Plus, Kyle Shanahan can scheme a lot of receivers open anyways. You have to wonder, didIt would make sense. Samuel was locked up by every Kansas City Chiefs' defensive back in that game. I think what that game showed Shanahan is that he actually can't scheme that much open if his receiver isn't adequate at route running.
