Jaguars
While Samuel has spent time both outside and in the slot, his best fit with the Jaguars would be as a do-it-all player who does most of his work out of the slot. The Jaguars are missing an element of a home run threat in their offense, and adding Samuel would give them a jolt in terms of overall team speed.
What the Jaguars need the most out of a receiver this offseason is the ability to work out of the slot and provide a reliable weapon for their eventual rookie quarterback. Samuel has good ball skills, toughness, and the adequate route running ability to be that type of receiver.
One can’t help but think about how similar his usage is to Laviska Shenault’s, which could cause some pause. With that said, their usage may be similar but their games are quite different and the Jaguars wouldn’t have to force touches and snaps to one over the other. Shenault has the power and size advantage, while Samuel is more quick-footed. Both thrive with yards after the catch and versatility, but one could make them work off one another like the 49ers flashed with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk last season. Having more players who can win in multiple ways is a positive, not a negative.
