I don't like the Ace Sanders comparison. I'd have much rather had Ace Sanders than Ellington.

Not my type of receiver as he is too short and a slot guy, which they have a ton already. But I will wait to see how well he does this season to talk bad about him.

Don't like it. Stevie Johnson and Patton will be ahead of him. Not sure if he poses any real threat as a return specialist.
Bruce Ellington IMO will be a weekly inactive player.

The other thing I don't like about it and I can't fault the 49ers for this one is that it gives the media another storyline/tidbit to ask about when the 49ers face the Cardinals (cousin is Andre Ellington).
The best part of this on the surface that I can think of right away is that if Kaep is wildly inaccurate with him, he'll come down with it more often than most little guys because he's extremely talented tracking balls.

Almost never fails. Raiders take Justin Ellis. A guy I wanted. One pick right after the 49ers. Crazy, crazy.

Bruce Ellington
WR
Junior
5-9⅜, 197 lbs
South Carolina
Scouts Grade79
Position Rank10
Overall Rank58
Arm Length31"
Hand Size9-1/2"
40-YD Dash4.45
ConferenceSEC
Overall Football Traits
Production 3
2010: DNP (Starting PG on Basketball Team) 2011: (11/2) 17-211-12.4-12012: (13/13) 40-600-15.0-7 2013: (13/13) 49-775-15.8-8Career: RUSHING 25-148-5.9-1TD, KOR 43-977-22.7-0, PR 3-16-5.3-0
Height-Weight-Speed 3
Lacks ideal height and has short arms (31'). Muscular well-built frame with adequate bulk. Bigger hands (9 5/8'). Very good speed, quickness and explosiveness combination. Tested above average for the position with 40 yard dash (4.45), VJ (39 ½ '), SS (3.95) and 3-cone (6.69).
Durability 2
Left the UAB game in early with a bruised shoulder in 2012. Dealt with nagging hamstring injury during preseason camp and was limited in the opening game against North Carolina. However, has remained durable as a two-sport athlete over a four year span at South Carolina.
Intangibles 1
Accountable individual that is highly respected by everyone in the athletic department. Tireless work ethic. Leader by example and inspires teammates. Dual-sport athlete that was a starter at PG for the basketball team for his first three seasons before leaving the team to train after declaring for the draft. Majoring in sociology. Raised by Mother Gwen Ellington and has a strong support staff in his life. Close relationship with cousin Andre Ellington, former Clemson and current Arizona Cardinals running back.
Wide Receiver Specific Traits
Separation Skills 1
Above-average routes and overall play speed. Quick starter that eats up cushions in hurry. Quick and explosive out breaks with minimal wasted motion to create separation from man coverage. Excellent feel vs. zone coverage. Avoids traffic and reroutes and quickly gets into intermediate soft-spots.
Ball Skills 2
Appears to have natural hands and rarely allows ball into frame. Plucks on the run without breaking stride. Above-average body control and adjusts well to throws outside of the strike zone. Easy track of ball over his shoulder. Lacks a prototypical catch radius.
Big play ability 3
Fires off the ball and has speed to burn to threaten the vertical seams. Lacks the size an elite leaping ability to consistently win 50/50 throws downfield. Flashes upside after the catch but a bit underwhelming in this area. We wanted to see more in this department on tape.
Competitiveness 1
Tough and highly competitive. Willing to work the middle of the field and shows good focus in traffic. Aggressive attacking the ball with contested throws. Very good field awareness and reads coverages well on the move. Active on scramble drill and does a great job of finding and getting into soft spots.
