WR Noah Brown, Ohio State
Brown, like Hunter, made a catch awesome enough to get a post on this website.
The 49ers will undoubtedly grab a receiver or two in the 2017 NFL draft, and if I’m Trent Baalke (or whoever the GM is for the draft), I’m looking no further than Ohio State’s second-leading receiver, Noah Brown.
San Francisco did select a receiver in the 2017 draft – John Lynch’s first as the team’s general manager. It was Louisiana Tech’s Trent Taylor in the fifth round. Brown was taken by the Cowboys in Round 7. He caught nine passes for 87 yards in 21 games and he hasn’t played since 2018.
