The San Francisco 49ers don’t necessarily need to select a wide receiver in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft.
But it would be a good idea if they did.
This, especially after a year in which no Niners wideout reached 500 receiving yards. True, San Francisco should expect more from second-year pro Dante Pettis, and signing free-agent receiver Jordan Matthews should help extend the depth chart a bit.
Still, head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense would benefit from yet another pass catcher capable of creating separation and serving as another reliable option for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in coming years.
