4. WR Jauan Jennings

Jennings is probably the least likely of the draft picks to make the club. He’s a receiver who isn’t fast, and will probably be limited to slot work. However, he’s a monster after the catch and battles hard to make tough, contested catches. If he makes the club, his largest effect will probably come as a special teams player, but a big target for Jimmy Garoppolo could be helpful, too.
