4. San Francisco 49ers
Whether it’s Mac Jones or Brock Purdy for the rest of the year, the San Francisco 49ers need someone to actually catch the ball. Injuries have devastated this team throughout the season, and the organization is without Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk while Jauan Jennings battles through multiple broken ribs. Head coach Kyle Shanahan remains one of the best in the game and can get this team to the playoffs despite the injuries, but you need talent to win in the postseason.
A Rashid Shaheed trade could give them that necessary talent. Shanahan is one of the game’s best offensive minds, and adding a dangerous vertical threat to this offense could give the 49ers one of the game’s best all-around passing attacks. Given Shaheed’s speed and Shanahan’s ability to create open throws, this pairing could lead to multiple explosive plays per game.
