Vernon Davis ready to be No. 1?

Question: Do you think Vernon Davis can become our No. 1 receiver? He was picked pretty high.

Harsh, Berkeley

Answer: Sure. The 49ers are looking an awful lot like the Chiefs and Chargers at this point - teams with strong running games and great tight ends but with weak receiving corps. Davis could become what Tony Gonzales and Antonio Gates are to those teams.
