I'm reading on the free agent thread that Cordarrelle Patterson would have been a better signing than Goodwin.

He provides no help at receiver. I don't see it.

He replaces T.Smith's role in the offense for 1/4 the price and might also be able to help in special teams.

I'll puff to that.

I think going from Texas to freezing his @$$ off in Buffalo probably hurt him, but now that he is coming to sunny Santa Clara things may change for the better!

He's probably stoked as hell to leave cold azz buffalo. They're definitely targeting Corey Davis or Mike Williams at ten after losing Woods and Goodwin.

Too bad we'll steal him first.

Hope so my man, Carolinas pick seems where the money's at and they gotta leapfrog teams to take Hooker/Adams/Fournette

Eff Carolina. They have taken all my big-bodied WR's the past several years. They don't get anymore!

He can give us a hit.

Goodwin will be a pleasant surprise for us. Have a feeling he will be our most dangerous receiver/weapon.

Watched all his targets from 2016 and besides realizing how bad of a thrower Tyrod Taylor is, I saw Goodwin surprisingly have good success on Curls/Outs, and little success on vertical routes. His 2016 Catch Rate of 43% (Catches / Targets) is not really indicative of his route running, but more about Taylor's inaccuracy on short throws. Many times Goodwin ran Stop9/Curl/Comebacks and got adequate separation, only to have Taylor fail to execute by being inaccurate or late on timing. A QB has to be in his throwing motion just as the WR is entering the break so that the moment the WR is turned around, the pass is midway to its target. Tyrod Taylor is not good at this.

That Goodwin wins a lot on Curls could be because CBs are overplaying his speed and ability to get vertical. Shanahan likes running these types of routes, on the outside, so I think I have an idea how Goodwin will be used with the 49ers. Goodwin's catch radius is small and I was surprised how little separation he got trying to go deep. So while his speed suggests he is a downfield threat, he would require pinpoint throws on those deepballs. He caught two bombs in 2016 (vs Revis and BMaxwell), but they were largely due to the defender napping on their deep zone assignment - both Revis and Maxwell were playing deep 1/3 when Goodwin caught the two long TDs. I'll eventually show with film what I mean.
