It was a low bar, but 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor sure soared over it in 2017. As a rookie, the fifth-round pick had 43 catches for 430 yards and two touchdowns, which are jaw-dropping numbers when compared to the first-year figures posted by the wideouts drafted by Trent Baalke. After Baalke officially became the 49ers general manager in 2011, he selected one receiver in each of his six drafts: Ronald Johnson (2011), A.J. Jenkins (2012), Quinton Patton (2013)...
