Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee expects the 49ers to target a wide receiver to complement Michael Crabtree this offseason.
Barrows suggests the Niners could consider Dwayne Bowe, Marques Colston and Vincent Jackson should they become available, but concedes that the more likely route is through the draft. Crabtree and Kyle Williams are the only current wideouts on the roster signed beyond this season. The 49ers finished 29th in the NFL in passing offense in 2011 and managed just 183 yards per game.
We can only hope the 49ers don't get their grubby hands on a bonafide stud like Bowe or V-Jax, because their fantasy value would evaporate quickly thereafter. Alex Smith couldn't throw for 4,000 yards if the league went to 18 games and played the last two like they were training camp 7-on-7 drills.
