The 49ers don’t have a very good track record at drafting wide receivers in the first round. Woods was another first round draft pick that panned out to nothing. He had good size for a wide receiver at 6’2 and 202 lbs, but he just didn’t pan out. Woods caught seven catches for 160 yards and one touchdown his rookie year (which is even more than Jenkins). The next season he injured his thumb and was put onto injury reserve. After that, he was traded to the San Diego Chargers in April 2006, and then just four months later, he was promptly cut. He was then claimed by the Denver Broncos but failed his physical. He worked out for the Minnesota Vikings that same year, but was not signed. Woods was out of the league in two years, and went on to play in he CFL.
