I would like to see Trent Taylor incorporated into the offense more as a second slot receiver in 4 WR sets. I hope he keeps the PR job, he isn't the flashiest but he's as sure-handed as they come, and it is so nice to not have to worry about a muff. Plus he's still good for a few extra yards with his shiftiness.

You know he isn't going to muff it which is the #1 thing you want in a Punt Returner. He is smart too and shifty as you say.
We are loaded at Slot WR though as we say in the UDFA thread. We need speed after Chase who really is our only scary dude
in this aspect. Pryor and Lassiter as Pulses says are 4.3 guys so one of them might be the answer. I would keep Taylor though
just cause of his sure hands on PR's.
We could roll with Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Morgan, Taylor, Pryor/Lassiter. The UDFA guy would take Thomas's spot. Taylor specializes in punt returns, Morgan primarily for special teams. If a guy has 4.3 speed I'd try him out as a gunner as well. If Taylor is on the roster he can still get an occasional look on offense. I know he's suffered a few injuries while with the Niners but in his rookie year he was pretty solid in the slot on a bad all-around team.
