Another offensive player is not very high on the list of the 49ers of priorities in this year’s NFL draft, but there is a growing chance that the most prolific wide receiver in the country last season will reach them in the general election no. Instead of avoiding Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith to switch back or reach a player in a more pressing position, the 49ers in NFL Wire’s latest fake sketch take Smith and it offers probably the best group of pass catchers in the NFL.
On the surface, it doesn’t make much sense, since Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk are the first two recipients, but they both faced injuries last year, and Kendrick Bourne’s free agency left a third vacancy. . Smith can do everything Bourne could in the 49ers’ offense and then something.
Here is Doug Farrar, who was the author of the fake:
If you want to find statistics detailing his versatility and perfect fit in any offense, last season he ranked first in the NCAA at receptions and deep yards and first at receptions with screens and backyards. Wherever he is on the field, Smith will find a way to smoke your defense.
Smith also completed the traditional score of the box. In 2019, he posted 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns on 68 catches. He followed this up with 117 receptions, 1,856 meters and 23 touchdowns on the road to winning the Heisman Trophy last year.
He affects the games in so many ways that it would be hard to beat San Francisco because you defeated the best player available. He would have to work hard to meet other needs later in the project, but Smith would undoubtedly offer the 49ers one of the most prolific groups of players in the NFL.
