Put simply, I think wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be a stud in the NFL, and form a lethal route-running duo with Dante Pettis.

Samuel may not start right away, as the 49ers now have a decent amount of depth at the position, but he will definitely see the field. And there’s no doubt he will be wrecking defenses with his devastating slant routes.

Like Pettis, I expect his role to increase as the season moves forward and he develops chemistry with his new teammates and especially quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

There isn’t much more to say. It’s a great pick that will help the team, it’s another offensive weapon and he’s going to be on the field sooner rather than later.
