Jalen Hurd Drafted in the 3rd Round by the 49ers

Baylor Wide Receiver Jalen Hurd was drafted yesterday in the 3rd round of the NFL draft by the San Fransisco 49ers.

Given his past as a 5* RB who transferred mid-season, Hurd was always going to be a polarizing and enigmatic prospect. But he proved that he is a capable slot WR.

He is never going to be a deep threat, but at 6’5 with a strong frame, the 49ers should use him as a flex weapon who can be a reliable chain-mover.
