Ricky Pearsall

PositiveValue0:00

The source strongly advocates for drafting Ricky Pearsall, criticizing skeptics as lacking film study and being too reliant on spreadsheets. Pearsall was third in the NFL in receiving yards during the first three weeks of last season when healthy, demonstrating elite production. The source projects him as a wide receiver 16 for the season, placing him a tier above comparable ADP peers because his pathway to that production level is clearer than other receivers who have flashed but not yet delivered. The source believes Pearsall will be a massive beneficiary when the 49ers offense comes together, citing Kyle Shanahan's play-calling style as ideal for maximizing his skill set. Despite 99 career targets and fewer than 1,000 yards through two seasons, the source dismisses injury concerns as unsustainable and expresses conviction in continuing to recommend him throughout the offseason.

0:00Regrettably, I spent all of last summer
0:02telling people to draft Ricky Pearsall.
0:04So, now I'm here to ask you, should I
0:06spend the rest of this summer telling
0:07people to draft Ricky Pearsall cuz I
0:09really want to?
0:10>> Josh, we're doing we're doing it again,
0:12man.
0:13>> [laughter]
0:13>> We're we're so doing it again. I still
0:15can't believe there are people out there
0:16that swear this guy is like not a good
0:18receiver. They just like don't have
0:19eyeballs. They're too way too deep in
0:20the spreadsheets. Get out of the
0:21spreadsheets and and watch the film.
0:23Ricky Pearsall, really good player and
0:25was productive like when he was healthy
0:27for 5 seconds last year. He was third in
0:29the NFL in receiving yards in the first
0:30three weeks of the season. They can
0:31never take it away from us.
0:33>> I can't believe I'm so optimistic for a
0:34guy who has like 99 targets in his
0:36career so far and and less than 1,000
0:38yards through two seasons. But, I don't
0:40want to be of this mindset of, well,
0:43he's had these fluke and crazy injuries
0:45over these last two years and that's
0:46just going to sustain itself cuz I
0:47really do think when it all comes
0:49together for this 49ers team, if it ever
0:51is again, Ricky Pearsall is just going
0:53to be like a massive beneficiary for it
0:55because Kyle is exactly the type of play
0:57caller I think that's going to get the
0:59most out of the styling of a player.
1:01>> I put Ricky Pearsall a tier above all
1:03the guys in this ADP just because I
1:05think that his pathway to being like the
1:07wide receiver 16 and scoring this year
1:09is a little bit clearer to me than a lot
1:11of the other guys that have like not
1:13done it yet that have flashed.
1:14>> Just quickly in rankings of where these
1:16guys are listed, it goes Michael Wilson,
1:18Michael Pittman, Quinton Johnston,
1:20Mecole Hardman, Ricky Pearsall,
1:22then Jakobi Meyers, Jordan Addison,
1:25Wan'Dale Robinson.
1:26>> Oh my god, yeah. I mean, Ricky Pearsall
1:28over all of those guys.
