49ers to target receivers as area for improvement

[Crimsoncrew]

I really think that signing Morgan and signing Robert Meachem is the most economical, as well as effective way to go. Meachem will put that speed on the field, plus he consistently stays out of the "drops" category.

I know people want this big body red zone target and womp, womp, womp. Smith just needs to work on the back shoulder throw in the red zone.

He looks fine in the red zone to me. He's ready to break out as a top wr in the league, I really hope we don't miss out.

I think Meachem is a pretty good second-tier target who we may not have to break the bank for, but who would really add a lot. I would definitely consider him strongly.

49ers' free-agent options at wide receiver

 

[Yadahell]

Take away the top tier 4 or 5 guys and I like Garcon, Doucet, Meachem, Simpson. and Manningham.

I think Meachem is a pretty good second-tier target who we may not have to break the bank for, but who would really add a lot. I would definitely consider him strongly.

"add a lot" meaning for the longer routes only or overall (short and medium)?

don't know, i'm just picturing how we used Ginn as a WR?
