The 49ers could and should make Jalen Hurd their No. 2 wide receiver in 2020.

The San Francisco 49ers wide receiving corps is one of the more intriguing storylines since head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. took over in 2017. San Francisco hasn’t had a 1,000-yard receiver since former Niners wideout Anquan Boldin in 2014 (tight end George Kittle could probably be a No. 1 receiver on a lot of teams in the NFL), and the 49ers crop of wideouts generally is not regarded as a group that instills fear in defenses.
