While the 49ers appear comfortable with their quarterback situation heading into the 2019 season, wide receiver may be a position group the team chooses to address via the draft.
While he remains under contract, Pierre Garçon will be 33 when the new season kicks off, and there are no guarantees that he will be on the 49ers roster when that happens. Marquise Goodwin didn't come anywhere close to the production he displayed in 2017 while a back injury set back second-year receiver Trent Taylor.
Rookie Dante Pettis did come on late in the season, finishing the year with 27 receptions for 467 yards and five touchdowns through 12 games with seven starts.
The 49ers could use a big red-zone threat and have even been linked to names like Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants. Of course, the team would likely need to trade for either player, which might make addressing the position in the draft more appealing than surrendering picks and a large chunk of the salary cap.
