and we all know the Steelers have been looking for a WR2 since we inexplicably traded away Pickens. He looks - at the moment - like the one WR we traded who is not going to flounder.
at any rate, I read this https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...de-deadline-deals-players-buzz-needs-32-teams :
While that is all very obvious, what I then read on the same link:
So, if this is indeed correct and the 49ers need a Guard, we have:
Mason McCormick, Isaac Seumalo and Andrus Peat on active roster at G. The first two are untouchable via trade.
Listed at OL and OT we have Spencer Anderson and Calvin Anderson
Spencer Anderson is averaging 12 per game while Calvin hasnt any.
Maybe a perfect trade would be Spencer Anderson and a 7th pick to San Francisco for Jennings? He shows WR1 traits, but is a 2.
His contract expires, as said, after this season.

He doesn't have much to offer in the speed department, but is a gamer. He's also 6'3", 212 so we'd be sporting some big assed dudes in him and Metcalf. Which would allow CA3 to operate more in the slot, where he belongs.

Chance to make playoffs: 54.5%
Projected first-round draft slot: No. 19
Adding, subtracting or sitting it out? Adding. The point of signing Aaron Rodgers was to elevate their program beyond the perennial first-round playoff loser they've become. The Steelers are looking for help at wide receiver and elsewhere, so they could make sure the group around Rodgers gives him a legitimate chance to make a playoff run. They also added Kyle Dugger at safety on Tuesday. -- Graziano
Key position of need: Wide receiver. For Pittsburgh, it's the tight end show with a special guest star in DK Metcalf, so the Steelers could use more experience at their WR2 position. Neither Calvin Austin III nor Roman Wilson have proved they can succeed in that role this season. -- Schatz
Who could be on the move? Cornerback Darius Slay. He was part of the Steelers' secondary overhaul in the offseason, but he hasn't panned out. Slay, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles a year ago, has been a significant part of recurring issues like missed tackles, miscommunication and being out of position. Against the Packers this past Sunday, Slay was replaced by Brandin Echols at times in the second half. -- Brooke Pryor
Who could be targeted? Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. I don't know if he is the perfect fit because of how much he plays in the slot -- thus overlapping with all of those tight ends -- but he's a good, reliable player who would be a major upgrade. Meyers currently has 1.7 yards per route run this season, but that has been in an anemic Raiders offense. -- Walder

San Francisco 49ers
Chance to make playoffs: 81.9%
Projected first-round draft slot: No. 22
Adding, subtracting or sitting it out? Adding. The 49ers have been active on the phone lines, looking at several pass rushers, and landed Keion White from the Patriots on Tuesday. Linebacker is a need, too, but the focus seems to be the defensive front. Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is firmly on the radar, but so are several others. -- Fowler
Key position of need: Guard. Left guard Connor Colby, a seventh-round rookie, ranks last among all qualified guards in pass block win rate (84.3%). -- Schatz
Who could be on the move? Wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The 49ers aren't in position to trade anybody, as injuries have ravaged the roster. But Jennings could probably be had if things aligned a certain way. Those conditions would include the Niners getting the likes of Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) back healthy and not losing any of their other healthy receivers to injury. Jennings is in the last year of his deal and requested a trade in training camp. Though he has had a down season amid a variety of his own injuries, it's hard to envision a scenario in which the Niners retain him after this season. -- Nick Wagoner
