Round 6 Pick 14 (No. 198 Overall) – WR Josh Reynolds (Texas A&M)

If Josh Reynolds falls this far, it will largely be down to his drops and a lack of suddenness after the catch, but there is much to suggest he can overcome that and excel in the NFL.

He is a height-weight-speed receiver who eats up cushion with long strides and can get over the top of defenses. Reynolds is physical against press and can go up and high-point the ball.

Reynolds would give somebody the 49ers who can bully defenders in the endzone and this late in the draft that is trait of high value.
