42. Another thing the 49ers don’t have enough of is weapons. Wide receiver has underachieved to a large degree for years, even during their great run between 2011 and 2013. If they’re going to make things work with Watson, they have to get him playmakers. Not just sure-handed possession guys or one-trick deep threat. Legitimate threats who are dangerous with the ball in their hands. Kelly is notorious for coveting such types so it makes sense. <p>Curtis Samuel showed just how dangerous he can be in that unforgettable Ohio State-Michigan epic. Not only is he fast and knows how to get open, just handing him the football in the backfield leads to big plays. Game-winning plays. Scouts will talk down his modest 5’11” size but that doesn’t matter. Samuel is a receiver that stresses defenses. He makes them work harder. Combined with that up-tempo style? It’s a match made in heaven.</p>. WR. Ohio State. Curtis Samuel . 3. player
