The 49ers could still turn to NFL free agency to bolster a questionable wide receiver depth chart, and these three players could make some sense.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan can’t feel overly confident about his wide receiver depth chart, particularly the names behind the two starters, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.

The Niners added only one wide receiver in the opening phases of NFL free agency, former Arizona Cardinals pass-catcher Trent Sherfield, then elected not to draft a wide receiver this offseason, breaking an 18-year streak of previously having done so.
