Wide receiver may not be a need for the 49ers in 2019

A long running gag for the San Francisco 49ers during the Trent Baalke regime was how he never knew how to address, nor evaluate the wide receiver position. The only pick in the first three rounds under his watch was A.J. Jenkins toward the end of the 2012 draft and that proved to be a disaster. Braylon Edwards was a flop. The trade for Stevie Johnson was awesome, until you realized a week later that they already had a Johnson-type player in Michael Crabtree and the move wasn’t really a step-up.
