Man, I don't know what Buffalo gave up... But I sure wish we had pulled the trigger on that trade. I think Kelvin is the type of WR we are missing.

I don't think he's Kyle type of WR. Kyle puts a premium on the ability to separate. He wants guys that run a full route tree with speed and quickness. The only thing Benjamin separates from is a diet.
Before 49ers fans start complaining, Kyle has never been a fan of big, bulky WRs. They will find another guy to go with Pierre for 2018 https://t.co/AT2MnxRPbo

Not the type of receiver that will fit this offense. We need route runners or quick guys.

The more I hear about good players who 'don't fit out system' the more I question our system.

It's a surprisingly narrow system.
We never miss out on players, they just don't fit our system. Benjamin doesn't fit the system, but Robinson does. Watson doesn't fit the system, but Hoyer does. Trent Brown doesn't fit the system, but Fusco does.

Blame that charlatan Bill Walsh and his ridiculous tenet of separation and emphasis on yards after the catch. He started all of this. His affinity for guys like Jerry Rice and John Taylor didn't help.
