The 49ers didn't flash the most money in NFL free agency, but they certainly have been one of the more active teams. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how Mike Evans and Christian Kirk's addition into San Francisco's new-look wide-receivers room will impact the offense, especially Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey. The duo then touch upon Jauan Jennings' quiet market so far, new left-footed punter in Corliss Waitman, and the very realistic possibility that Joey Bosa could join his brother Nick on a defensive line in desperate need of another EDGE.

The 49ers hit on critical roster targets early in free agency this week, acquiring one of the most consistent and productive receivers in the league in Mike Evans.
