Lynch's Watkins Critique: 49ers' WR Concerns

For the NFL, it's March 17th. Here's what's happening.

San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch made waves at the NFL scouting combine.

He praised rookie wide receiver Jacob Cowling, saying the team loves him and expects big

things.

But he also said Jordan Watkins needs to take major steps forward to improve.

This came up unprompted during Lynch's comments, which caught many off guard.

Watkins is one of their own players from last year's draft, and publicly pointing that

out feels like a direct challenge.

Analysts and fans reacted with surprise, calling it a clear indictment of Watkins' progress so far.

Something Lynch is trying to light a fire under him to boost his performance.

It adds fuel to the idea that the 49ers missed on Watkins as a key contributor.

That's why experts keep pushing them to draft another wide receiver this year.

Meanwhile, the team stays aggressive in free agency,

looking to shore up their receiving corps for the upcoming season.
