WR Trent Taylor
There was a chance Taylor was going to be one of the 49ers leading wide receivers last season before a preseason foot injury and ensuing complications from it knocked him out for the year. His rapport with Jimmy Garoppolo, his toughness, and his ability to gain separation in tight areas will make him a receiver to watch again this season.
His size and skill set limit him to working almost exclusively out of the slot, so Taylor won’t be on the field very often. However, he is an additional third-down machine to pair with Kendrick Bourne to help extend drives and keep the 49ers’ offense on the field. Taylor is never going to be a monster from a production standpoint, but his presence on the field would be a significant addition to the passing game.
