The 49ers just brought back wide receiver Dante Pettis, and the hosts can’t decide whether it’s a throwaway depth move or a clue about what’s coming. With Mike Evans dealing with an injury, this signing could matter more than it looks. They go back through Dante Pettis’ history, including a couple of games where he burned San Francisco and one where he caught a game-winning touchdown for them. Then they get into the bigger question. The team brought in a bunch of receivers and cornerbacks for workouts on a day off, so is that a hint that Mike Evans could miss a game or two? They also look at Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins’ big plays, and how thin the experienced receiver group really is. They finish by looking at Pettis’ 2018 second-round draft history and whether he belongs in the conversation about Kyle Shanahan’s draft misses at receiver.
Topics discussed include:
Why the 49ers signed Dante Pettis
Pettis’ past games against the Niners, and the game-winner he caught for them
What the receiver and cornerback workouts could mean for Mike Evans
Whether Brandin Cooks or Jordan Watkins changes the depth picture
Pettis knowing Shanahan’s system
Pettis’ 2018 draft status and the Shanahan draft-miss debate
