I fully expect these former Chiefs WRs to have career years now that they are being paired with a truly elite QB.

He is (was?) a solid receiver. Should be a quality addition to a weak WR room

Weak WR room to start the season. Depending on Jennings calf the 49ers might have the worst WR room in the league week 1. Once Jennings is healthy, Aiyuk is healthy and Robinson comes back from suspension they have a really good WR room (top 10).
He should help early in the year. They have no one who can stretch the field vertically right now. As much as they can rely on Kittle, CMC and Pearsall in the short to medium pass game they need some vertical threat. They have Watkins who they drafted in the 4th round this year but he missed the last two preseason games with an ankle injury. He is back but he is not ready to start week 1. Seahawks have a really good DLine and good corners. They are just going to bring 10 guys into the box to stop the run, short passing game if the 49ers can't get anything going downfield. Gotta at least have the threat.

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Right now, they need help. But not necessarily for the entire season.

Right now it is bad and what really sucks is they have that weak schedule but with the caveat that 3 out of the first 5 games to start the season are divisional games. You can go 2-3 to start the season and be fine but you can't go 2-3 with a 0-3 divisional record.

Former a lot of teams but I do think he is a good add especially early in the season when they are really thin at WR with Aiyuk out and Demarcus Robinson suspended. 49ers schedule is soft but they play 3 divisional games in the first 5 weeks so they need capable receivers. Can't start 0-3 in the division.

MVS is only good for the deep ball. Otherwise he had hands of stone.

That’s all he is needed for. Run away and fast so we can throw underneath to CMC, Kittle and Pearsall. Just chuck it up to him a couple times a game to keep the threat alive.

CMC, Kittle and Pearsall will be featured heavily early on. Even if JJ is ready for week 1, he hasn't practiced so highly doubt he will get a ton of targets. WR room will take shape after DeMarcus Robinson returns week 4 and Aiyuk in probably week 6.
This is very bad but Aiyuk, Pearsall, Jennings, Robinson is very solid. Need to get there though. That's why I said I wouldn't be too concerned if the 49ers were 4-4 and 3-5 isn't ideal but not the end of the world either.
