Playmaker Score offers 49ers some later WR options in draft

Last week, Football Outsiders released their 2018 Playmaker Score on ESPN In$ider, and earlier this week they offered up the content on their site, outside of the pay wall. Playmaker Score measures how FBS wide receivers will perform in the NFL. It factors in collegiate performance, combine measurables, and projected draft position into account to rank receivers based on their projected NFL success.

The San Francisco 49ers need to find younger wide receiver depth, but they are not in quite the critical situation from recent years. Pierre Garçon, Marquise Goodwin, Trent Taylor, and Kendrick Bourne give them a strong starting point for 2018.
