Here is the opening to my Tuesday column about A.J. Jenkins:

The 49ers need to cut A.J. Jenkins. Or put it another way. If the 49ers are serious about putting the best team on the field Sept. 8 against Green Bay, Jenkins will not be part of the team.

This is nothing against Jenkins, the person. He is polite, a hard worker, a college graduate. He deserves a good life. But he doesn’t deserve an NFL career, even though he was Trent Baalke’s first pick in the 2012 draft, the 49ers’ only first-rounder, simply a horrible pick. More about Baalke in a moment.

Jenkins is the worst wide receiver in 49ers’ camp. Undrafted guys are better than he is. Guys you never heard of are better than he is. And he is the worst receiver for the second year in a row.
