Wide Receiver Kenny Stills

The 49ers already have a deep threat in the form of Torrey Smith, but this is a team that needs as many playmakers as it can get on offense.

And, though he is far from a complete receiver, Kenny Stills was a playmaker for the Miami Dolphins in 2016.

While he did not come close to matching his 63-catch campaign with the New Orleans Saints in 2014, which saw him rack up 931 yards receiving, Stills still proved capable of getting behind the defense.

He scored a career-high nine touchdowns on 42 receptions for 726 yards and is still only 24 years old.

Nobody was scared of the 49ers on offense in 2016. That figures to change under Shanahan, but only if they can add more talent. Stills, with his ability to stretch the field, fits the bill.
