Among the other players Benjamin suggested as potential targets for the Vikings were New Orleans Saints WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen, San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings, and Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce.

The Chiefs added Thornton to their practice squad last season after he was released by the Patriots. And the reason that New England got Thornton? The team executed a trade in the 2022 draft, moving up four spots to exchange picks with … Kansas City.

While there was quite a bit of player movement this offseason, the 49ers still have a lot of quality talent on their roster. Led by Brock Purdy, the offense has enough talent to be good. However, there is one major question at the wide receiver position.
