You're most likely right, tell you something, I certainly didn't expect AJ Jenkins back in 2012.

So I'll go with Mike Evans and Paul Richardson. Baalke has more than enough ammo to trade up for Evans in the top 15 and Richardson is the quick-speedy-fluid receiver with a little bit of size to him, IMO, similar to Emanuel Sanders.

Those are my two least expected receivers to be drafted by the 9ers, and not the two I'd want as 9ers.

I think Richardson and Marqise Lee are the two guys I'd say we will target that a good portion of us don't want or wouldn't expect. Although frankly, I'd be perfectly fine with both, after conducting extensive research and game study.

I see Lee being projected at 30 fairly often now...dropped quite a bit over the last month. I'd be fine with him but no matter who is taken it would be great to have an insurance pick in the second or third.

I like this class a lot, and I can say that among the WRs, there aren't many that I would say "I hate this pick" if we took them. Then again, it depends a lot on the round.

The only player that I don't want us to touch whatsoever is Brandon Coleman. In my mind worth nothing more than AT BEST a 6th round pick.

Yah, I'm one of those that do not want Marquise Lee unless it's in the 2nd, I just think Lee is overrated in. But I wouldn't be mad if Richardson turned out to be a 49er.

So, all that being said, the guys are want are:

Benjamin
Moncrief or Bryant
Ellington

That would give us a guy with elite big play potential (think Alshon Jeffery), a guy with speed and toughness (think Ruben Randle), and fearless slot/return man with speed (I think he could be something like Eddy Royal when he's playing well).

I know at least half of you will think I'm nuts, so bring on the flaming.

When you say return man, I think of a player who can return punts and kick-offs.

In 39 games, Ellington has returned 38 kick offs for 869 yards.
That is an average of a little less than 23 yards per return.
That career average that would have put at about #54th among last year's FBS kick off returners.

Furthermore, Ellington only returned 3 punts for 16 yards in his 39 college games.

If we draft him it should be on his strength as a wide receiver.

Calling him a return man seems to inflate his demonstrated skill level.

I would be ecstatic if Lee dropped to us. Every year people around this time get enamored with 2 things: Size and Timed Speed. Forget both of those things, and remember who pops out on tape. Lee is a baller, point blank period. Same goes with Jarvis Landry.

I like Richardson as a 3rd rd possibility. He could fit a specific role early on to help stretch the field, while he fills out his frame and grows into the position.

Lee and Landry would be an unbelievable duo for the future! Then get a smaller, faster guy later on and...
