The 49ers have reshuffled their receiving corps this offseason.

Torrey Smith and Jerome Simpson have come onboard while Michael Crabtree, Stevie Johnson and Brandon Lloyd have moved along (Lloyd is unsigned, but there’s no indication the 49ers are interested in another year) after catching 117 passes for the team last season. With Simpson a flier after missing all of last season and the non-Anquan Boldin returnees accounting for little production, there’s been speculation that the 49ers will be bolstering the position this week at the draft.
