No. 5: Paul Richardson, Wide Receiver, Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks’ Paul Richardson seems to tick a lot of boxes. He’s only 25 years old, showed some serious potential, catching 44 passes for 703 yards and six touchdowns this season, and he won’t break the bank for the 49ers to nab him.

Not to mention, it’s fun to imagine using him against the Seahawks.

His one downside is he’s not quite tall enough to be the physically imposing receiver the 49ers are missing from their wide receiver corps, but he knows how to find the end zone, which can only help to help Jimmy Garoppolo next season.
