Brian Baldinger: Ricky Pearsall a 'bigger, faster' version of former Patriots receiver

Few grind tape like Brian Baldinger. He joined the Morning Roast to break down the 49ers' draft, and compared Ricky Pearsall to a former longtime New England Patriots wide receiver.

"I think Pearsall, like I don't know what they're gonna do with these receivers, with Brandon [Aiyuk], with Deebo," Baldinger said. "We heard all the rumors all weekend. But you watch Ricky, like I had him as my fifth-best receiver in this draft. When I watch him, I interviewed him a couple of weeks ago on the NFL Network, and I just said to him, I'm like, 'Dude, you're always open. Like, what's the deal?'

"Like he runs he's these over routes in the SEC, like nobody's bumping him. He's an elite tester. He catches everything. To me it's just a bigger, faster, Julian Edelman. Like he could just rule the middle of the field. He's, he's an amazing player, great prospect."

Baldinger was asked how he think the situations with Aiyuk and Samuel is navigated, given what Pearsall brings to the table. He said he's interested to see what Kyle Shanahan does.

"I think you'll see it over the course of the year and then by next year, one guy is going to be here, and one guy isn't going to be here," Baldinger said. "Right now, it should be highly competitive practices, because I think you're gonna see the talent of Pearsall. I think everybody's gonna see it. And so it's the question of how they move them around, can they find a space for all of them?

"It's just not going to be tolerated that guys are going to be crying for the ball, they're not getting touches. I mean, the ball's gonna get spread around and it's gonna go through McCaffrey, that's not going to change. So I'm anxious to see what that roster looks like Labor Day weekend and if everybody that's been here is going to still be here."
