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.
