49ers Urged to Trade Late Round Draft Pick for Former Wideout
On Sports Illustrated's Grant Cohn has urged the San Francisco 49ers to trade for wide receiver Jauan Jennings.
The San Francisco 49ers are facing an injury crisis in their receiving room, with Mike Evans leaving Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with a rib strain. Evans may need further evaluation on Monday, adding to the challenges already present due to injuries to Ricky Pearsall, De Zhaun Stribling, and Christian Kirk, all of whom are currently on IR.
San Francisco's passing offense is now led by Jacob Cowing and veteran Deebo Samuel, with limited backup options in KhaDarel Hodge and Jordan Watkins. Grant Cohn, from Sports Illustrated, suggests the 49ers should consider trading a 2027 seventh-round draft pick for Jauan Jennings, currently the Vikings' third-string option. Jennings, despite limited playtime, could potentially see more opportunities with San Francisco's upgraded quarterback situation.
The former Niner has only been targeted three times in two games, gaining only one receiving yard. His role would be expanded if Evans spends time on the sidelines.
