Wide Receiver Michael Floyd

The 49ers need a big playmaker and Michael Floyd is a perfect fit. He is a mismatch nightmare at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds) and would solve the red zone deficiencies.

Floyd has never been the No. 1 target, having been playing next to future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald and could finally be the main target in San Fransisco. The Niners would need to unload the bank for Floyd, as his current cap hit is at $7.32 million in 2016, per Spotrac.com.

This would be a good fit for both sides because Floyd can finally be the main guy, and the Niners would instantly upgrade the receiving core.
