49ers drafting Jauan Jennings spells danger for Jalen Hurd

There’s a lot of time between now and the regular season, but San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd just saw his chances of becoming an impact player in 2020 take a notable hit via the NFL Draft over the weekend.

Namely because the Niners brought in two notable wide receivers: Arizona State’s Brandon Aiyuk and Tennessee’s Jauan Jennings, the former with the No. 25 overall pick in Round 1 and the latter with the team’s final pick in Round 7.

Aiyuk, being a first-round selection, will be afforded nearly every chance to make an impact right away.
