Do 49ers need to upgrade wide receiver position?

About halfway through the season, with Pierre Garcon injured and Marquise Goodwin still waiting to break out, many considered wide receiver to be a top need of the San Francisco 49ers. They needed to target someone high in the NFL Draft or at least make more moves in free agency.

Enter Jimmy Garoppolo, and the position is looking a lot better. Marquise Goodwin showed superstar potential down the stretch, and seems primed for a starting role going forward. He finished the season with 56 receptions for 962 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
