49ers depth chart: Wide receiver group full of potential and question marks

The San Francisco 49ers could have a very productive receiving corps this year if a few players step up.

The 49ers selected Jennings out of Tennessee with their final pick in the 2020 draft. His lack of speed could wind up costing him an NFL job, but it’s also easy to see where he’d fit with the 49ers. Jennings is very physical and uses his frame to shield defenders and win contested catches. He’s also one of the most difficult players to tackle in the entire draft class. Pro Football Focus had him down for a broken tackle on 51 percent of his catches – the highest mark in a very talented wide receiver class. He’s also a very willing and capable blocker. The physical limitations are going to be tough to overcome, but the path for him rising up the depth chart is pretty clear.
