I think I've found my first draft crush. He's part DK Metcalf, part Deebo. And talks like Randy Moss.
Leggette is a size (6'3, 225) and speed (sub 4.4) WR that is stronger than a lot of linebackers. He is a YAC monster and a great run blocker (yes and yes for Shanahan and Lynch). He can take a slant to the house for 75 yards, and can also burn your corner for 75 yards over the top.
The Niners are ridiculously thin at WR, especially with BA headed towards a prolonged contract negotiation, and need some real depth at the position. Leggette is a competitor when the ball is in the air, and tracks a deep ball well. He could slide in to the X receiver spot and just run through any press coverage.
With so many enticing WRs in this draft, there will be a lot of talent getting pushed down the board. Get this young man on the roster asap.

I likey. I would love it if we drafted Malachi Corley, Legette, and also Bub Means. Means may be a steal. Sub 4.4 forty, 40 inch vert, 10 inch hands, 6'1 215

Your 1st guy has lots of drops. 2nd guy can't get separation unless it's an under or over route. Don't know much about your 3rd guy
