No. 3: John Brown, Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals are entering an all-out rebuild, and it’s anyone’s guess whether or not wide receiver John Brown is part of their long-term plans.
But adding a former 1,000-yard receiver to the mix wouldn’t be a bad thing at all for the Niners if Arizona lets him walk.
And KNBR 680’s Larry Krueger endorses the idea of bringing Brown to San Francisco:
John Brown is THE WR the #49ers need to add this offseason. South Florida kid plays big. He’s had some injuries and a health issue but that just means that he’ll be a relative bargain. Playmaker with toughness and the speed to separate. https://t.co/abpmakavfF

Brown also voiced some serious support and praise for Jimmy Garoppolo earlier this offseason, so there’s that to chew on.
While Brown is only 5-foot-11, he plays bigger than his frame would indicate and has the quick-twitch acceleration to make him a legitimate on-field threat.
